Bah lightweight.

Install minimal ydl (or possibly use rescue mode?)
- initialize partition mount on /mnt/sysimage
- mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/rpm
- rpm --root /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/rpm --initdb

- install base system :)
- fix broken (mkinitrd) depends for pure ppc32
- setup yaboot
- add ppc specific packages - pmac-utils, hfsutils
