I've just tried to do.  Then the system works fine.  And I've also done 
trial and error as follows.

- 'yaboot' doesn't support OldWorld Macs.
- The installer applies 'grub' instead of 'yaboot'.
- 'grub' breaks a partition table.
- The installer dumps core on a qemu-system-ppc as NewWorld Mac.
- 'quik' supports OldWorld Macs.
- I modifies the install script on the install media of Fedora Core.
　　--> remove to install boot loader
- I install Fedora using above modified media.
- I apply 'quik' boot loader to the image installed by hand.
- The image works!

Thank you,
