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


After installing the current Etch (4.0r3), PowerPC, the system wont
boot. During install yaboot-installer says it succeeds (installation
logs attached).

Entering the Open Firmware with the Cmd-option-o-f and typing 'boot
hd:1,yaboot' gives the following warning:

0 > boot hd:1,yaboot
Warning: sector size mismatch! can't OPEN: hd:1,yaboot
Can't open device or file
 ok
0 >

Using ide0 instead of hd renders the same result.

The expected result would be to boot Debian.
