Public bug reported:

Just did an entire disk install from todays (24.07.2016) Yakkety daily.
Installation procedure went fine, but the automatically created
/etc/yaboot.conf seems faulty.

1st stage-boot runs fine, the boot options are displayed correctly,
pressing "L" leaves me at the 2nd stage boot prompt where you can choose
between "Linux" and "old" boot options. But either of them does not
work, throwing the error message:

"/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/@0:3,/boot/vmlinux: unknown or corrupt
filesystem"

To rule out other issues I did an openfirmware reset, wiped /dev/sda and
tried a second time with a fresh mac partition table. But the problem
stays the same, 16.10 is not bootable on my PowerBook 5,6. It did run
16.04 before.

Partition layout is the standard created by "entire disk" install, /dev/sda4 is swap.
/dev/sda2: LABEL="bootstrap" TYPE="hfs" PARTLABEL="untitled"
/dev/sda3: UUID="b7bdb9a4-7316-4966-aa65-1d546b211204" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="untitled"
