There should be a doc I wrote on the CD. Yaboot is installed during the
installation, but on some (many) machines, you need to manually point Open
Firmware to the bootstrap, hence the message about:
setenv boot-device hd:X,\\:tbxi
(X being your bootstrap partition)
You might also try
setenv boot-device hd:X,\\yaboot
I'm sure I covered this in the installation doc, and Phil's FAQ, listed in
my .sig also covers it.
Oh Yes - to get into Open Firmware:
Command(Apple)-Control-O-F at powerup
And when you are done:
shut-down
