Fortunately, I have another partition on the same computer running
powerpc 12.04 which i am using right now. It surptrised me to see that
this bug made it through from the 12.10 installation as I thought my
12.10 froze to soon. Need to mark the install attempt as a failure on
qa-tracker and tie it to this bug.

Zsynced Lubuntu desktop powerpc 12.10 dated 20120920,
dd the iso to a USB and booted through OpenFirmware with the following command:

boot usb0/@1:2,\\yaboot

Set kernel mode on yaboot:  video=offb:off video=radeonfb:off video=1024x768-32 
radeon.agpmode=-1
The normal kernel mode: live      (does not get a working install due to poor 
graphics)

Install appeared to go well with good graphics during the install.  Then as I 
was testing the browser (firefox) the computer 
freezes, flashes to a tty screen scrolls and closes very quickly.  I can get to 
the kern.log if needed.
