Correction: that is assuming yaboot is on partition 2.

Title:
  ppc: YabootInstaller doesn't handle USB drive installation so well

Status in “yaboot-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Just the "Installation Complete" dialog was left hanging, otherwise
  things looks fine. Apport made me file this bug. Installation of
  yaboot failed, because I am installing to an external USB drive which
  does not have any AppleBootstrap partition. I will boot yaboot from
  openfirmware anyway.

  I did not attach the debug log because I was warned that it contains
  my password. Is that true? I could not find it in syslog or
  installer/debug.
