Public bug reported:
On PowerPC Apple machines with mac-partition layout a NewWorld-boot
partition is needed, formatted to HFS-filesystem.
Recent Ubiquity can no longer handle this. There is no option to format
a partition to HFS. Ubiquity can create a newworld-boot partition (means
the boot flag is set corretly), but this partition has no filesystem and
its mountpoint is also set to "/" which is wrong. You get no appropriate
error message and if continued the install simply stalls infinitely.
As a workaround you need to use gparted first to appropriately create
this HFS-formatted newworld-partition.
