Yes, Stew is right, you must mount your root partition AND /proc to the
chroot if you want to run ybin (yaboot needs to access to the nvram to
update the boot-device):

boot in rescue from the CD
$ mount /dev/hdaXX /mnt
where XX is the partition number of /
if /usr is on another partition, mount it too
$ mount /dev/hdaYY /mnt/usr

$ mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc
to mount the /proc partition

$ chroot mnt /usr/sbin/ybin -v
(can't remember exactly where is ybin, I don't have my mac here at
work).

Send us the output of the last command if it failed.

$ umount /mnt/proc
$ umount /mnt/usr
$ umount /mnt
$ reboot

I hope this will help you,
