Yes, that's directly part of the error message. It tries to read "-3/etc/yaboot.conf" and then prints the corrupted filesystem error. I had to take a screenshot of QEMU-KVM in virt-manager because I couldn't get Yaboot to work on the text console.

But how is this different than for my case? You manually did the setup here. I just let yaboot-installer do the job and assumed it work work as you suggested, but that's not the case. Just using the additional /boot partition alone is not enough, you also need to place yaboot.conf in the proper place. So, it's not a simple change but would also involve patching yaboot-installer. Or am I missing something? YOu did not automatically let yaboot-installer install Yaboot and it would work, no? Adrian -- .''`.
