+ <title>Install <command>Yaboot</command> on a Hard Disk</title>
+<para>
+
+Newer (mid 1998 and on) PowerMacs use <command>yaboot</command> as
+their boot loader. The installer will set up <command>yaboot</command>
+automatically, so all you need is a small 820k partition named
+<quote>bootstrap</quote> with type
+<emphasis>Apple_Bootstrap</emphasis> created back in the partitioning
+component. If this step completes successfully then your disk should
+now be bootable and OpenFirmware will be set to boot &debian;.
