OK, that was my fault and I got a set further now.
I hardly got a glimpse on the linux kernel output now again, because
it stopped after dumping about one screen of stuff in almost no time
with a blank screen this time. But I took my fast digital camera and
was able to capture it:
The first stage after hitting retun at the yaboot prompt (install):

rc1.jpg
Then this for about 1/10 of a second before I got black screen and
needed to power off:

I compiled a 2.6.16-rc1, this worked OK.
Then I put it (vmlinux) in my root ditectory of the first and only
disk together with the yaboot stuff and tried to launch it via OF
boot prompt like:
boot hd0:/dev/disk0s3, yaboot
This seamed to launched some code and spit out about 10 lines of some
numbers/tables I really
cant get a real glimpse on, were there only for much less then a
second and then I ended up with
and kind of grey "Forbidden" sign (graphics, a circle with diagonal
line) on a black screen.
All frozen, need to power off.
Looks like yaboot got bunk... that an interesting command line you
passed to OF anyway :)
Try boot hd:3,yaboot instead
Ben.
