Okay, no significant change except the addition of the open firmware 
boot choice in the boot prompt.  After changing the yaboot.conf and 
running ybin, looking at the nvram gives the boot device as:

> boot-device=/pci at 80000000/pci-bridge at d/pci-ata at 1/@0/disk at 0:9,\\:tbxi

Just where in the heck is this coming from?  Something is really messed 
up, but what?

Just a message from Doug...
