I think it is possible, after running ybin, to mount your bootstrap partition 
(HFS filesystem, not HFS+) and edit the ofboot.b file.
It helps to have a good knowledge of forth and OpenFirmware, but you can get 
by with trial and error and knowing how to boot manually if yaboot breaks.
Take a look and see if you can figure out what's going on there.
