Uhh, no. This will reset the PRAM, and not help yaboot at all since it relies on the boot-device setting in the PRAM to work.

The way to get yaboot working again is to boot up holding down the option key. This will boot into a boot device selector. Wait for the spinny cursor to stop, and it should show you the bootable partitions. Usually one for OS X and another for linux (complete with the Penguin). Boot into Linux and as root run ybin to set boot-device to the yaboot boot partition. Everything should be well again.

Cheers,

Chris
