OK, thanks, nice to know. Can you try the
unofficial-debian-squeeze-powerpc-netinst-2-yaboot-1.3.13.iso?
It just would be to make sure the culprit for the two-pass behaviour
is indeed a too old Yaboot release...

No, it is only needed on PowerMacs, but you have a PReP machine,
so it should not complain with PPC PReP Boot. It seems hw-detect

If it is not satisfying having the same version in both Squeeze and
