I suggest the following:

first, the line
image=boot/vmlinux

should be
image=/boot/vmlinux

Then, you should move the root=/dev/hda12 line above the partition=12 line.

Finally, again, just above the partition=12 line, add a line:
device=hd:

So your final file should look like:

#ybin options
boot=/dev/hda10
macos=/dev/hda
magicboot=usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
delay=10
defaultos=linux
enablecdboot

# yaboot options
init-message="\nWelcome to Yellow Dog Linux\n\n"
timeout=50
default=linux
root=/dev/hda12
device=hd:
partition=12

# yaboot images
image=boot/vmlinux
          label=linux

image=/boot/vmlinux
          label=linux-novideo
          novideo

image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.19pre1
          label=linux-2.4.19pre1
          read only

Save the changes, and run "ybin -v" again. Reboot and try if the kernel boots
fine now.

Besides, is that all there is in your /boot directory? (If you standard
kernel still boots, then there probably is also a vmlinux file in there, no?)

Greetings,
Olivier
