I've reassigned this to ubiquity (even though the original bug report was using the debian-installer). This will cause ubiquity to not complete the installation properly (unless things have changed in quantal) and so ubiquity needs a clean way of handling failures from yaboot-installer. Installing the bootloader manually is not a problem (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#I.27ve_lost_yaboot.2C_what_can_I_do.3F ), but the failure to complete installation fully is. Ubiquity needs to display an error message that yaboot-installer has failed and move on.
