The attached patch applied to /usr/lib/ubiquity/yaboot-installer/yaboot- installer on a live ISO allowed me install the bootloader to a USB partition successfully.
I'm not 100% sure I'm using the function map_of_path correctly in the patch. Other instances of that function seem more complicated. yaboot-installer may fail in other ways so I think ubiquity still needs a way to deal with this cleanly. ** Attachment added: "yaboot-installer-patch.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaboot-installer/+bug/956481/+attachment/3155323/+files/yaboot-installer-patch.txt ** Tags added: patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956481 Title: ppc: YabootInstaller doesn't handle USB drive installation so well To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaboot-installer/+bug/956481/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
