I retrieved the tumbeweed ppc64 DVD from
http://download.opensuse.org/ports/ppc/factory/iso/

I used it to install a guest on a Power8 KVM machine.
The install proceeded with all defaults up to "Saving bootloader configutation"
where mbr saving failed.
accessing the kernel shell, was able to access yast log that reports
those extracted lines.

I confirmed that PreP disk was initially configured during the install:

Be careful before using the write command.
