Ok, so yaboot.conf is loaded correctly, it just fails to load the install/boot
stuff. Will look at this.

Ok, this is the default thingy.

Do you have an idea what the right way for this is ? Can you drop into the OF
console, and look at what the path to cd is, and try to boot yaboot in
/install by hand ?

Ah, possibly. Can you give it to me ? 

Oh, and you would need to run install64 or something such, and furthermore,
the below is not the right yaboot.conf, we need to fix it

These ones are not in the archive at all anymore, it need to be
install/powerpc64/vmlinux :/
