"Kernel image" here means the kernel itself, not the initrd. So, enter 
"/mnt/sysimage/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667". You have to add the initrd to 
yaboot.conf yourself afterwards.

Are you sure it says "/dev/hda", not "/tmp/hda"? Because that was the 
problem I had. I'd guess it should work with "/dev/hda". If not, what's 
the output of "ofpath /dev/hda"? If it says something like "no such 
file", what's the output of "ls /dev/hd*"? And what's the output of 
"mount | grep sysimage"?

If it does say "/tmp/hda" (like it did in my ISO install), then we 
should probably file a bug report against either yabootconfig or 
Anaconda (or whatever). Does anyone know what the reason for mounting 
/mnt/sysimage from /tmp/hda<x> instead of /dev/hda<x> is?
