[Bug 1043066] Re: Test Case dwi001- Full disk install PPC Alternate- 12.10. Yaboot installation failure

[Ron Mitchell]

During the test case noted above, I had attached to my eMac an external
USB drive which I use to boot OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) if I need to.

Before a subsequent attempt to install the same build on the same
machine, I removed the external USB drive.  Yaboot then installed
correctly.
