It means that there are no usable yaboot files on your hda11 partition. Are you sure your boot (I mean the apple bootstrap partition, not the partition where vmlinux (usually /boot)) partition is hda11 ? Try the setenv thing and change the partition number... Can you still boot MacOSX ? If yes mount hda11 under MacOSX and have a look to see if it contains the yaboot files... Brice
