Not difficult at all, I just changed back to a standard debian kernel
with initrd myself.  Below is my new yaboot.conf entry and the old one.
The option is documented in the yaboot.conf man page.

image=/vmlinux
    label=Linux
    initrd=/initrd.img
    read-only

image=/vmlinux.old
    label=linux.old
    read-only

So you see, it's only a simple one line change.
