After installation, I was able to chroot into the installed system and create a PREP partition using cfdisk.  I then dd'ed the yaboot binary to this partition and created my yaboot.conf.  I also had to modify the /etc/securetty and /etc/inittab on partitions that used an hvc and hvsi console.  I will get my installation reports submitted soon to help out.  

This is currently fixed in svn, but was not deemed urgent enough to be
uploaded during beta1, but i will see what can happen so this is fixed soon.
At worse i will do a custom build tomorrow.
