it will if you have quik installed. --purge quik to get rid of that.
whenver bugs.debian.org comes back ill file a bug asking to have that
at least turned off for newworlds. we will see about ybin stuff
instead.

same with yaboot:
image=/vmlinux.old
label=linux.old
root=/dev/whatever
read-only
there is no `prompt' keyword in yaboot, thats implicit. set

you should not be booting that way. remove nonvram from your
/etc/yaboot.conf and you should boot right into yaboot without manual
and dangerous OF fsckage.
