Thanks David.  I updated the yaboot.conf file.

I tried OF, the result was:
--
Welcome
Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.12
Enter "help" to get some basic usage information
boot:Linux
Please wait, loading kernel...
/pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/ata-4 at 1f000/disk at 0:9,//boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667: 
No such file or directory
--
I notice there is a '//boot' in there, but there is not one in yaboot.conf.

any other ideas?

Thanks.
