bootstrap is not hfs+.  and should never be mounted read/write.

if this is really necessary (its not) do mount -t hfs -o ro /dev/sdb2 /tmp/mnt

examine /etc/yaboot.conf instead, if looks good run ybin to ensure
everything is correct.  there is more to the bootstrap partition which
cannot be examined by mounting it.  (mounting read/write is more
likely to screw that up in fact).

I would want to see the /etc/yaboot.conf they generated, I suspect its
simply full of errors and thats why the boot fails.
