Comments/Problems: I did a new install, when I choose at the partitioner
"Multi user system" there will be no boot/prep partition. So I escaped to
shell to make a boot/prep partition with parted. So far so good, with yaboot
now I can choose /dev/sda1 to install yaboot. At the stage for installing
yaboot I get the following error:

Nov  9 16:59:01 yaboot-installer: error: mkofboot failed with exit status 1
Nov  9 16:59:20 main-menu[543]: (process:9742): ofpath: /proc/device-tree is
