I did download the 2.2.19 bf from archive.debian.org, and tried them, with a
very similar result. Only the addresses were different:

DEFAULT CATCH!, code=0300 at %SAR0: 0160756c  %SAR1: 00083030

I also tried the current bf on an HFS (not +) partition, no difference.

Is there nothing else I need, on the root level of my HFS volume? Just

linux
root.bin
yaboot
yaboot.conf
  ^-- contents:
image=linux
label=install
initrd=root.bin
initrd-size=8192

Is the fact that root.bin is actually a floppy image screwing me up?
Or maybe MacGZip hosed yaboot - but I think it wouldn't get as far as it
does if that was the case.
