Don't yabootconfig. The kernel package should set yaboot.conf correctly 
on install, and you can tweak it manually afterwards if it doesn't suit 
you. Yabootconfig doesn't add the initrd, and booting without an initrd 
causes the observed symptom (at least it did for me, if I remember 
correctly).

Since I guess yabootconfig has overwritten your old yaboot.conf, the 
easiest solution would probably be getting your system bootable again 
somehow and then removing and re-installing the new kernel. Assuming 
that yabootconfig got everything else correctly, you should only have 
to add the initrd. It may be possible to specify it at the yaboot 
prompt. Or boot from a rescue CD (don't know whether you can get a 
shell with boot.iso?).
