boot the iMac to the open firmware prompt
run the command:

There's no partition 0, _ever_, with an Apple partition map. It
doesn't exist. You should do 'boot hd:,\\yaboot' instead. Not
specifying a partition number will cause it to search for a volume
with a filesystem it knows, and \\ tells it "look in the blessed
directory" - which trust me, is important...

Derrik,
Can you tell us where the syntax and semantics for this stuff is
documented -- what one puts after "boot" in talking to Open
Firmware, and how it interacts with the related environment
variables?
Thanks!
Rick
