Oops, sorry about omitting important details... I was using yaboot 1.3.5
(from debian package of course!)

I haven't tried leaving out the comma yet - I will try it tonight. I did try
cd:1,/vmlinux but it didn't work. (Can't find the Elf image or something like
that...)

I tried out both methods and haven't succeeded. It seems that OF cannot find
yaboot image on the CD.
Perhaps I should rephrase my question to get closer to the solution;
1) Which partition type (for CD) is OF capable of reading? Pure ISO9660?
ISO9660+hfs hybrid? What about Rock-Ridge extensions?
2) Which partition type is yaboot capable of reading (among the above types)?
Thanks!
