Not sure why it worked for me but just to double check here is what my
yaboot.conf file looks like.

boot=/dev/hda12
device=/pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/ata-4 at 1f000/disk at 0:
init-message=Welcome to Fedora Core\!
Hit <TAB> for boot options.


partition=9
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
default=Linux
defaultos=linux


image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667
        label=Linux
        root=/dev/hda9
        sysmap=/boot/System.map-2.6.9-1.667
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
        read-only

macosx=/dev/hda11


-----------------------------------------------------------
other thins to check 

make sure you have /dev/console 

[rsalmon at suma ~]$ ls -l /dev/console 
crw-------  1 root root 5, 1 Nov  5 21:24 /dev/console

Hope it helps.

Rene
