Uhm maybe it's due to  this line in my yaboot.conf:

device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:

that makes the netbsd-related line in ofboot.b become:

: bootybsd " Booting BSD..." .printf 100 ms load-base release-load-area
" /pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:2,\\ofwboot hd:5,/bsd" $boot ;

The device variable in yaboot.conf refers to the OF path to the disk
were the OSes are.
To detect that path AFAIK you must be on a Linux system in order to let
`ofpath` use some Linux specific devices and /proc gizmos. (AFAIK)
I tried to install yaboot from netbsd but I noticed only a little ago
that I was missing *everything* COMPAT_LINUX related :|
