Yeah, maybe it's just the yaboot versions (1.3.16 for Jessie, 1.3.17
for Sid), that makes the difference.
It's annoying that something has regressed here though: is there an
official git repo for yaboot to check out the differences between 1.3.16
and 1.3.17?
The fact that it still works on real hardware suggests that something
has changed here: is it possible to generate a test ISO using 1.3.16
yaboot to see if that starts working under QEMU again? That would narrow
things down immensely.
With QEMU would it be possible to follow the approach of John Ogness
([1])? He used yaboot v1.3.16 from a USB stick and then loaded the
config file from the Debian Sid netinst disc.
