I'm still a bit undecided about the ext4 issue with Yaboot. I actually
would tend to always use the ext2 /boot partitions for all installations

Hmm, I just gave that a try and I still get the original error message
about the corrupt filesystem because Yaboot tries to read in /etc/yaboot.conf
from partition 3 which is the root partition with ext4.

So, it seems that your original suggestion to just enable an ext2 /boot
partition is not enough. Yaboot's configuration file also needs to
be accessible on a non-ext4 partition.
