Bug Description
Just did an entire disk install from todays (24.07.2016) Yakkety daily. Installation procedure went fine, but the automatically created /etc/yaboot.conf seems faulty.
1st stage-boot runs fine, the boot options are displayed correctly, pressing "L" leaves me at the 2nd stage boot prompt where you can choose between "Linux" and "old" boot options. But either of them does not work, throwing the error message:
"/pci@f4000000/
To rule out other issues I did an openfirmware reset, wiped /dev/sda and tried a second time with a fresh mac partition table. But the problem stays the same, 16.10 is not bootable on my PowerBook 5,6. It did run 16.04 before.
Partition layout is the standard created by "entire disk" install, /dev/sda4 is swap.
