looks fine to me.  Is it possible that the apple partition got "unblessed" 
somehow?  Try booting with a MacOS9 CD, mount the mac partition and open the 
System folder.  That's enough to bless it again.

Or maybe your yaboot.conf is wrong?  Unlikely though as you do get the 
blinking ?...

No, a linux console is a linux console on any supported architecture.  What 
makes you think you have a non-functional console?
