This looks like it is missing drivers for the SCSI cards, but the CD kernel had
no problems
and I thought the kernel placed on sda3 would have them also. That kernel is

You're missing the initrd. You're just providing a kernel and the root device,
but the drivers
for the root device are stored in the initrd.
The initrd is stored next to the kernel, so you just need to edit your
yaboot.conf to have
the initrd variable point to the correct name.

Thanks Adrian. I'll give this some work next week.
