Try creating the yaboot.conf from the earlier message in /target/etc/
and give ybin a shot (in the chroot).

ybin complained about the "light-cyan", so I changed it to "cyan".
Then ybin complained quite a bit:
/proc filesystem is not mounted; nvram will not be updated
unable to find OpenFirmware path for boot=/dev/hde6
and similar message for other partitions.
Do I need to crack the case and check out jumpers and cables on the hard
drives or something, like I'd do on the i386 architecture?
