Howdy... more info.

I had some time to test today (I had to cancel my trip to Berlin so I'm all
yours :-)

I compared my successful install on my powerbook G4 with the G5 and, except for
the harddisk info, it was exactly the same.

I then went at ybin and ofpath with the -v and --debug options and found
something interesting.

For my first drive (/dev/sdb) I get something massively different (and more
correctly looking) than for the second drive (/dev/sdc)

I get: /ht@0,f200000/pci@7/k2-sata-root@c/k2-sata@0/disk@0:

So I tried adding that to the device= in yaboot.conf with no luck and I also
forced ybin to use that with the -o option with no luck. The man pages say to
send a tarball with some specific items to the yaboot maintainer but since I
can't actually boot the partition, I can't save anything and get access to it later.

Ideas?
