Scratch build at:
https://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=270692

Let me know how that goes.  If it's good I'll push it into the current releases.
Comment 3 Karsten Hopp 2011-08-11 10:51:55 UTC 
I couldn't capture the debug output as it scrolled by too fast, but yaboot.debug and yaboot both successfully started up the system. 
Thanks for the fast fix !
