I ran ybin to restore yaboot. The yaboot prompt is displayed at startup
again. If I choose Linux it boots into YDL. If I choose MacOS or MacOS
X it boots into whichever version of MacOS is selected as the 'Startup
Disk' for that partition. If I change the 'Startup Disk' for OS 9 or OS
X then yaboot is hosed again.
If I ever need to rebuild the system I'll partition the drive
differently. In the meantime I'll just boot into Linux and use MOL to
run OS 9 / OS X on the odd occasion I want to.
