I've installed the 1.3.10 but I have troubles too:

If I make ofpath /dev/hdc (my HD in Debian) it tells me that not such
device but if I make /dev/hdb it tells me ultra1:

I have tested the following yaboot.conf:

boot=/dev/hdb9 // hdc9 in Linux is my bootstrap partition
device=ultra1:
partition=11 //that's my root partition

...
...

image=/vmlinux
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hdb11
	read-only

Then when I make ybin it tells me:
hmount /dev/hdb9 error opening medium
ybin /dev/hdb9 appears to have never had a bootstrap installed, please
run mkofboot.

My hdc9 in linux is my bootstrap partition (fdisk tells me) but if I
change hdb - hdc it says that the hdc it's not supported.

Any sugerence? Any person can offer me the yaboot.conf?

I have hdc9 bootstrap  partition, 10 swap, 11 root, 13 var, 14 usr and
15 home.

Thanks in advance!
