[Debootloaders-yaboot] Bug#481844: yaboot: fails to boot on Mac Mini 1.42 GHz (PPC)

[Per Andersson]

tag 481844 unreproducible
severity 481844 wishlist
retitle 481844 Add section that states that "mac" partition table is
needed in the installation manual
reassign 481844 partman
thanks

The supplied logs are with manual partitioning the disk,
it seems that it is not sufficient with only a NewWorld
boot partition (Apple_Bootloader). Actually the error
was choosing "msdos" when partitioning the entire disk,
instead "mac" should have been selected. The partition
table (I suppose) was missing from the disk, which
seems to be needed.

It does not state this anywhere, it just says that you
need to have a NewWorld boot partition. It would be
a good thing to put in Appendix C of the installation
manual for PowerPC.

Although the first installation was with the guided
"encrypted LVM" which failed, it works now. Cannot
reproduce the error, didn't save any logs either.

Since the error somewhat isn't a bug I am reassigning
as wishlist to partman. Please help me if there is a
better package to file against.
