Ben, thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately neither worked.  I was aksed to go
through PM reset by Apple and this did not work either.

I appreciate you help though.  It just seems weird that loading the wrong 
version of yaboot managed to kill/trigger something.  Maybe I should send a 
mail to Olaf about it and see what the yaboot.chrp actually does.
