I, I once was confronted to this problem, solved it by mounting the partition in osx and reporting it to the list. I was then criticized a lot for posting this solution on the list, this one being said to be unsafe (that is, as far as I understood it would make my unbootable machine more unbootable ;) I then proposed a patch to check the yaboot.conf syntax before installing the file. It never made its way through, but in my setting I ALWAYS use this syntax checker in yaboot. More reference on http://cedric.pradalier.free.fr/ibook2.
