Attached is a patch which checks if 'ofpath' can find the openfirmware path of macos/macosx devices. If it can't then it doesn't add the devices to the yaboot.conf. Also, the bootstrap partition is tested and if the openfirmware path can't be found for that then nvram is not updated. These changes should stop yaboot-installer getting its knickers in a twist, although ideally ubiquity still needs to handle failure from yaboot-installer more gracefully. Also, (ideally) the user should be told that nvram has not been updated so they shouldn't expect an automatic boot into *ubuntu (they need to hold down the option/alt key instead).
