yes it sound's a little confusing.
while checking the yaboot.conf man page, you will find that you can
specify the ofboot and device using the "real" OF path for those
variables.
I use the following (you should adjust to your settings)
boot=/dev/hda2
ofboot=/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:2
device=/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:
