Is this an installation done with manual partitioning? It seems to me
like this is an unsupported partitioning scheme.
For ppc64el, GRUB typically expects a small (8Mb) partition at the start
of the disk to use as a location to install PReP.
In this kind of cases, we should still have partman-prep warn the user
about the lack of a PReP partition, so there is a bug in this case if
that doesn't happen, regardless of whether this is manual or automatic
partitioning.
FWIW, I know that booting from petitboot is a slightly different
subarchitecture for d-i, but I haven't been able to find the special
code paths for it at a quick glance in partman; I will dig more once we
have the information requested above.
