Just a quick check here: you are using ybin after performing changes to yaboot? I don't think that this is strictly necessary, but it doesn't hurt to do (as root) "ybin -v". :-) Unfortunately, if you are booting with an live disk, the names of the partitions may have changed... :-( Anyway, you can probably, once booted with the live disk, see the open firmware tree under /proc and discover there the name to which disk is an alias. Anyway #2, booting into open firmware and issuing a devalias would be a good thing. Regards, Rogério Brito. P.S.: I just got this thread in the middle.
