There is a bug in yaboot, it does not handle short reads.
Try to either boot yaboot via tftp or from the local disk if you have
already a Linux system installed.
Copy the files yaboot.ibm, inst64 and yaboot.cnf from DVD1/suseboot/
to the tftp directory, and rename yaboot.cnf to yaboot.conf. Then boot
yaboot.ibm via tftp.
Or copy yaboot.ibm to your 0x41 PReP boot partition, and inst64 to your
harddisk. Then add a new entry to lilo.conf or yaboot.conf and boot from
local disk.
