The install disk should have a boot option called 'cd-linux'. So when you get the first prompt after booting from the disk type 
'cd-linux root=/dev/hd[drive][your_root]' 
This will boot linux. Now you need to remount '/' so it's writeable 
'mount -o remount rw /' 
Then you should be a able to edit yaboot and run ybin. Then remount / and ro and reboot. You should be good to go.  At least it works for me. :-)
