I did as you suggested.  I wasn't sure where to install the brokenosx 
option (the man page just said under global options) but here is my 
yaboot.conf:

Ran ybin -v and then did the nvsetenv command to see what had changed if 
anything.  Seems the boot-device changed to the same as given in my 
yaboot.conf file.  Rebooted into OSX and ran the nvram -p to see if 
anything had changed and noticed that the boot-device had changed back 
to hd:,\\:tbxi.  Rebooting from OSX caused the usual system hang and I 
had to zap the PRAM again.  In reading the man pages I see this 
brokenosx option deals with installing OSX on a HFS+ partition, but I 
thought that was the norm.  I wasn't aware that it could be installed on 
a UFS or that I should have?  And where did the 
device=/pci at 80000000/pci-bridge at d/pci-ata at 1/@0/disk at 0: come from in the 
yaboot.conf file?  I thought hd:,\\:tbxi was what this was supposed to 
be.  Before I forget, thank you Daniel for your help in this matter. 
 I'm not sure why, but I always seem to find the machines that don't 
conform to the norm for some strange reason ;-)

Just a message from Doug...
