silly me this is so simple!

boot into OpenFirmware (command option o f)

enter this command:

boot cd:,\install\powermac\yaboot

(i think that is the correct path you can find this in macos if you
need to)

the problem with booting is just the magic ofboot.b script, it has a
deficient <COMPATIBLE> tag.  but it does nothing more then chian load
yaboot. you can do that yourself with the above command.
