I've managed to get as far as getting yaboot to run - but it cannot find
any of the kernels that I have defined.
When you say that the image lives at "/vmlinux", where does this file
physically need to be on the system? I've tried in the root directory of
the HFS partition, but yaboot cannot find them there.
