post your yaboot.conf, and if you can, get me the fstab.
those first few partitions are OpenFirmware stuff I think. Its how it
gets its little drivers. I wouldn't delete those (macs don't work right
without them, even if its not MacOS). My ibook has 8 of 'em.
you can get to the terminal (to get the files above) by switching
virutal terminals to vt3 (I think) in the installer
