It was interesting, but I had a similar problem. At some point, yaboot stopped listening to my keyboard on boot. Everything booted and worked fine, but then I built a new 2.4.x kernel to test a firewire HD on my pismo and I ran into trouble. The kernel wouldn't boot, and I couldn't type a different image name into yaboot. I tried command-option-O-F, and all I got was a black screen. Eventually I got into MacOS by holding down the option key and booting the visual bootloader, and choosing MacOS. Running the Apple 'System Disk' utility cleared up all the issues. I can now boot into OF, and yaboot accepts input.... jas.
