you can add `nonvram' to /etc/yaboot.conf to shut that up, its just a
warning though, you can ignore it ;-)

uhhh, this is weird, you don't have your bootstrap partition mounted
anywhere do you? also try deleting the ~/.hcwd file before running
ybin, it may contain something bogus.
the other possibility is you don't have a valid HFS filesystem on the
bootstrap partition, you can run mkofboot instead of ybin to erase and
create a new filesystem before installing the bootstrap.
