showstopper for debian-7.1.0-powerpc-netinst.iso on POWER5 (p505) and iscsi disk

[Michael Felt <mamfelt@gmail.com>]

Last march I started a thread - that with help - resolved the problem of installing from
debian-6.0.7-powerpc-netinst.iso - and installed on a p505. downloading the new yaboot as part of the install (thanks to Lennart Sorensen for the hints/instructions that got me going) and I could install and boot!

However, today I tried the  debian-7.1.0-powerpc-netinst.iso and this is not successful - "out of the box".

1) entering "install" at the boot prompt brought me right back to the boot prompt, just pressing enter worked much better.

2) show stopper for an install on IBM POWER (p505) using vscsi for hdisk0. And again the "winner" is yaboot.

I had chosen the option "whole disk" - all in one - recommended for new, and it created two partitions only (#2 ext4, and #5 swap).

Is my assumption correct that I will need to use manual and create an additional partition named "Apple_Bootstrap" _(for now at least) - and if so, is there a preferred disk partition # to be used?

Thanks for the feedback.

p.s. a pointer to the bugs site is also welcome and I'll report and feed the bug report.

Sincerely,
Michael
