Nope, there isn't.

PS3 is booted with kboot, which is able to interpret yaboot.conf. Thus, the
correct behaviour on that platform would be to create yaboot.conf, but without
bootloader installation itself :) (as Debian does not have kboot, and I presume
hardly ever will).

I'll continue working on this stuff, this was just a test image to make sure
kernel modules were loaded fine.
