Forgot to mention that the only way to recover from this condition is to 
reset the PRAM (Command-Option-P-R).  If I go into the Open Firmware 
screen I get the following error message twice at the top of the screen:

NO ADDRESS PROPERTY FOUND!

Is this a clue?  Typing mac-boot at the prompt then takes me back to the 
yaboot screen as it should.

Just a message from Doug...
