Hm. As a last resort you might try switching off the machine (and starting
from a truly cold boot). I only suggest it because it worked for me.

Possibly the version of yaboot you have interprets \\ to mean "root," which
means that \\\\ means "System Folder." Another version of yaboot interprets the
backslashes differently. You may want to experiment.
good luck (you're very near to booting it seems to me)
