There's some bizarreness going on with the number of backslashes one must put in
the yaboot.conf; one version of yaboot needs \ whereas another needs \\
you might try
image=hd:9,\\\\vmlinux
especially if your vmlinux is in the system folder of the startup partition.
The rest of your syntax appears correct to me, although I'm a gnubee.
