^^^^^^^^^^^ According to man yaboot.conf, this should no longer be used.

^^^^ I wonder why you are using this. If you are mounting the
bootstrap partition in MacOS, it will always de-bless it and that
would explain your problem.

^^^^^^^ You would normally not want this, it disables ybin from
automatically setting the OF path.

^^^^^^^^^^^ It may not make a difference, but this global option
should appear above the image= line.
Also, I thought you mentioned macos was on your slave drive. So that
should not be hd:
hd -> internal ide master
ultra1 -> internal ide slave
ide0 -> secondary controller master
ide1 -> secondary controller slave
You can also use the Linux-style pathname here instead.
