sounds like your using the broken linuxppc yaboot. try the mainline
yaboot from penguinppc.org/~benh or /usr/ybin/yaboot/
yaboot-faq: http://penguinppc.org/usr/ybin/doc/yaboot-faq.shtml
partitioning: http://penguinppc.org/usr/ybin/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.shtml
ybin (yaboot installer): http://penguinppc.org/usr/ybin/

the mainline yaboot works fine on that machine, i have helped several
people get it working. try a different distribution.
