Okay, if your system partition with all the yaboot stuff is the SECOND
partition (hda10), then you "image" entry above is pointing to the wrong
partition. The yaboot stuff has to be on an HFS partition (you've got that
covered, if I read you correctly)...
You can either use "image = hd:10,\\vmlinux" --or-- if you have a vmlinux
file in /, you can point the "image" tag to it (makes it easier to build
your own kernel and boot with it). Offhand, I can't remember whether you
can use "/dev/hdd10" in the image tag, so you might have to use something
like "image = ultra3,vmlinux" to do that... BUT, if you just want to boot
the kernel image in your system folder, use "image = hd:10,\\vmlinux" ...

This is all well and good.
