Ok. I just tried to install [1] on Power IntelliStation 275. It
installs, reboots, and works fine.

At one point yaboot-installer code calls

 /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions --flag prep

which is supposed to return prep boot partition, but in your case it
looks like it returns nothing.

Here is what it returns on my system. I tried it just before reboot at
the end of installation procedure:

> /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions --flag prep
/dev/sda1		7.0 MiB


Without --flag:

> /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions
/dev/sda1		7.0 MiB
/dev/sda2	ext3	66 GiB
/dev/sda5	swap	2.8 GiB


Can you try the same on your system? Maybe it throws a very descriptive
error. :-)
