Say what? So where were you installing the yaboot loader to?

That's wrong. You should have a 'boot=' line that indicates your bootstrap
partition, and the 'device=' and 'partition=' options should point to the
FS where your kernels are stored. (Or at least a partition number...)

Is that all you have to it?

I've got a FireWire iBook, so I use the Option-key boot selector for
multiibooting on the iBook. Adding a 'macos=<dev>' line, however, will
cause ybin to set up an OF script to prompt for what OS to boot (there are
others, read the yaboot.conf manpage). (My yaboot.conf is attached.)
