How to make mkofboot just generate ofboot.b without installing it anywhere?

I am trying to make mkofboot generate an ofboot.b based on a
yaboot.conf and simply leave it in my ext3 filesystem, letting me
decide where I want to put it. I have read the man page, and, so
far as I can tell, mkofboot is determined to put ofboot.b on an
HFS, fat, or raw filesystem of type Apple_Bootstrap.
I need this feature in order to find a better workaround for bug
#604134, which can cause Debian Installer to break a completelly
unrelated operating system in a way that, for some users, might not
be repairable short of wiping the whole hard drive.

My current workaround loses the functionality of ofboot.b. Linux
can still be booted from yaboot, but there is no ofboot.b menu that
lets you select between different operating systems.
