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...
