For me, yaboot_0.4 cannot find its config file in this situation,
and yaboot_0.5 can't even be executed successfully by OF, unless
the HFS partition is the first one, and even then yaboot_0.5 
can't find its default config file properly.  yaboot_0.4 is the
only version I've had any success with, and that's only with
the HFS partition being the first (not counting driver partitions,
of course.)

This is promising.  I'll give this a go.  Thanks again.
