Olaf's suggestion to use netboot is a good one.
Have you tried googling "yaboot claim fail"?
I see suggetions to run yabootconfig, which normally
writes stuff to a special boot partition at /dev/sda1
No clue how to do this for a CD.
The BSD faq has a long discussion
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#ofw-claim-failed
which seems to indicate that some load or offset is being
incorrectly specified.
There seem to be plenty of other discussions as well
