On F19, I think it was : yaboot was not installed correctly and I
was unable to boot from HDD.
On 20, too, during the install there was a dependency on yaboot
that cannot be resolved
Showed up even earlier than F19, maybe this fits?

On 21, a dependency on glib that cannot be resolved, which is
strange if it works on other platforms.
Like this?

Moreover, it seems behaviour differs between text installer and
graphical installer (VNC, as "nouveau" driver seems totally broken
on powermac, an endian issue, I guess)
