Okay, fixed the partition type, then ran 'ybin -C /target/etc/yaboot.conf -m /target/etc/ofboot.b', which returned several 'yaboot.conf: line too long' (or something like that) errors; then, when I try to do the 'boot hd:9' bit, I get:
parsing <CHRP-BOOT> DEFAULT CATCH!, code=70 at %SRR0: ff80b648 %SRR1: 0000b030 ok Do I need to do something further to my yaboot.conf file? It's basically the default one, just with the partition number changed.
