Try
yabootconfig -r /dev/hda11 -b /dev/hda13 -t /mnt/sysimage

While we're at it, here's my own experience with yabootconfig in a HD 
install from the re1115.0 ISOs I did yesterday:
o At the end of the install, there's no yaboot.conf anywhere
o Running yabootconfig fails because it expects the device from which 
/mnt/sysimage is mounted to be in /dev/, but it is /tmp/hda13. After a 
few failed attempts at fixing yabootconfig to cope with this situation, 
I got it to work by just hardcoding the right values into yabootconfig.
