OK, so I interpret that message as meaning that the bootstrap
partition really hasn't been initialized. It's looking for an
hfs filesystem, and not finding any.
First check
mac-fdisk -l
to be sure the bootstrap is where you think it is, and
that it's type Apple_Bootstrap. Double check your conf
file to be sure it's got all the right stuff in it:
nano-tiny /target/etc/yaboot.conf
Then use the same chroot commands as before, except substitute
'mkofboot' instead of 'ybin'. That should initialize the partition
and then install yaboot.
