Then you did not install using Fedora 20. the ppc team has dropped all
32 bit support. yaboot has only ever been built as a 32 bit app. they
are the ones that chose to have it go away. They are the ones that made
the decision to no longer support yaboot and worked to make grub2 its
replacement. likely to move to grub2 you will need to manually set it
up. but it really is not a viable bootloader for ppc64 anymore. no
amount of disagreement will change that fact.
