Can you boot into rescue mode again and:

mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb2 /tmp/mnt

do a listing of the dir and if present examine the yaboot.conf there

As ethan said it looks as if nvram may not have been updated.

If you hit o for open firmware and do:

printenv boot-device

What do you get.

This probably should go in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ against
anaconda.
