Synopsis: I tried an install. It failed. But the
/target/etc/yaboot.conf is "correct" in that it does not contain spaces
in the wrong places or use /dev/disk/by-uuid to identify partitions.
The problem that caused the failure is that ofpath can't handle the lack
of /proc/scsi/scsi and fails.
Joseph Jezak has a re-written ofpath that may solve this problem.
Bottom line: The version of yabootconfig used by the Debian Installer is
not creating mangled yaboot.conf files. The mangled yaboot.conf that I
reported in bug report #580455 must be coming from somewhere else.
Any help you can give in tracking down the real source of the trouble
will be much appreciated!

Hi Rick,
I tried reproducing this bug, but couldn't manage to : a clean install
from the Squeeze installer (netbooting the netinstall image from
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/
) did install Debian correctly on a PowerBook6,8.
Furthermore, the yaboot.conf you brought shows no signs of UUID or LABEL
used (as in the other bug you encountered #587290 and #580455) and looks
correct. Could you verify this is the one you really get ?
Regards,
benjamin
