It looks as if this is a side-effect of r1089 - bootpath now has a 
parseable partition id which causes yaboot to check the partition type 
and emit a warning.

This may be a valid warning because the only data partition on the CD 
image is an Apple_HFS one (I see the same warning on my HelenOS image 
here). I don't see the same issue with Fedora, but then again it looks 
like it can be easily disabled.

Do you see the warning on a real Mac with a real CD?


ATB,
