No problem. I'd boot into Linux and fire up pdisk à la:
su
/sbin/pdisk -l

This'll tell you where your yaboot partition exists.

An alternate option is for you to mount the yaboot partition in Mac OS
(since the yaboot partition is HFS afterall) and format it. Not
particularly useful though... I'd rather use something like
/sbin/parted to delete the partition if you're really worried about
it.

Eric.
