I also had a bit of a problem installing yaboot during the Slackintosh
install.  I don't recall the exact errors, but I know it was a different
error if I ran mkofboot after the install, or ran it in a chroot after
install.

This is how I fixed the problem.  It certainly sounds like an
unsuccessful yaboot install is the heart of the OP's problem, especially
if an old yaboot install is still there.
