I tried to install yaboot (from the root shell of the debian installer) and
it told me that it won't install on an OldWorld system. The Debian
woody installer also tries to install quik.

This is a woody version. The setting left in the nvram for boot-device
gives an error in openboot (I modified the auto-boot? setting so I can see
the errors now).
The setting woody sets is:
nvsetenv boot-device /pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0
Then when I let it boot from openfirmware, I get:
boot can't OPEN: /pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0
After a look at the device tree in openfirmware, I tried other options
like /pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 and /pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL
PROTECTED],0 but all
give the "can't OPEN" error.
