If you still have a working yaboot.conf, you can boot from an install
CD or a Live CD (I usually use a Ubuntu Live CD), chroot into your
system and just run `ybin -v`.  Otherwise, assuming you didn't get
into this trouble by having a bad yaboot.conf in the first place, you
might be able to extract your yaboot.conf from the boot partition.  If
you need any help with any of this, all you have to do is ask ;-)
