I agree with the other poster, you definitely need the 2.4 kernel (new-powermac
flavor). I hope that's what you installed, but I fear you didn't because you
said your yaboot version was 0.9 which indicates a potato CD (the current 
woody version is 1.3.6).

In any case, to include a debian-novideo option in your installed system,
just copy the debian-novideo image section from the .conf file on the 
CD where you found it to your installed /etc/yaboot.conf; then run 
ybin. More details on how this all works can be found in the Yaboot HOWTO
