Here are the files:
## Example yaboot.conf for ybin and yaboot >= 0.6
## see man yaboot.conf for more details.
## Change to your bootstrap partition ie: /dev/hda2
boot=/dev/hda9
device=hd:
partition=11
delay=15
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macos=/dev/hda18
macosx=/dev/hda15
defaultos=macos
## Comment out if you have a newworld compatible nvsetenv (ybin can
## likely detect the incompatible version) when commented out ybin
## will update the boot-device variable in OpenFirmware to the
## bootstrap partition.
