In that time the yaboot loader was in /dev/hd8 - The
MacOS side (inside the system folder with the
yaboot.conf and the vmlinux file) ... the thing is
that now I am trying to do it the right way !!!.

somethig like this in the yaboot.conf ? ...
boot=/dev/hda6 //bootstrap partition
device=hd:
partition=8 // linux partition - number 7 for swap
root=/dev/hda8
append="video=atyfb:mode:800x600-8"
read-only
image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
Where do I have to copy the yaboot loader and the
yaboot.conf file ? ... Do I have to copy just the
kernel in the linux partition (/dev/hda8)?.
