[Debootloaders-yaboot] Bug#495930: yaboot: debian stable: 4.0r4a

[Folkert van Heusden]

Package: yaboot
Version: 1.3.13a-1
Severity: normal


Situation:
- IBM p52a
- LPAR with diskspace served via VIOS 1.5 (an LV, not a physical disk)
- virtual console accessed via HMC

The problem is that the yaboot configuration-file is installed in /etc. /etc can be in a logical volume: in that case yaboot fails to find its configurationfile at boottime and so fails to boot 
the Debian system. Solution would be putting that configfile in /boot like grub does. Current workaround is not to use LVM at all.
