Difficult. But this isn't a problem with yaboot. ybin calls nvsetenv
which brings this error. So check if a newer powerpc-utils version then
yours is available.

Does nvsetenv work for you the first time? At me, I could call nvsetenv
the first time without problems, but a second call brought an error. But
all this is gone since the kernel upgrade.
