This is a typo, is it not? should be image=/vmlinux

So, with this .conf, you get a menu with options OSX
or linux, right? l for linux loads yaboot. Is this where
the 'second stage bootstrap' error occurs?
It really seems like this could be a ybin issue; or possibly
a filesystem corruption on the bootstrap partition, since
that's where it would be loading yaboot from. It may work
manually from OF through a different code path than the CHRP
script activation.
Try, first: ybin -v to see if any errors are reported.
Then mkofboot -v so the bootstrap partition filesystem is
re-created.
