now however I perhaps need some magic to fix things. I am able to get

ofboot.b
yaboot
yaboot.conf
What could I do to transplant Yaboot ? Where does it live? I suppose
both a file in the linux partition as well as one in the small HFS
partition I have, right?
I thought that they USB key would also have two partition, mac-fdisk
lists sdb1 and sdb2, sdb1 being mounted, but I cannot mount sdb2 (HFS),
no device node exists for that
Any tricks off-heads for the frankenstein Yaboot I want to attempt?
If all else fails, you can still mount the original ISO on another
machine and copy the included `yaboot` (from `/install`) to a convenient
place. From there you can transfer it into the rescue system or directly
to the HFS partition with e.g.:
On receiver:
```
nc -l -p 9000 > yaboot
```
On sender:
```
nc receiver 9000 < yaboot
```
Afterwards maybe check a hash (e.g. SHA256) of the file on both sender
and receiver to be sure it was transferred intact. When chrooted to the
actual installation, you should have hfsutils around (`/proc` and `/sys`
might need to be mounted). First - if it is mounted - unmount the HFS
partition with `umount`, then (pseudo)mount it again with `hmount`, then
use `hattrib -t tbxi -c UNIX yaboot`. Afterwards, `humount` the HFS
partition and try a reboot with the older yaboot from disk.
HTH,
Frank
