exactly what command are you using to boot yaboot? are you using the
internel IDE disk?  scsi disks do not have device aliases (at least
not that i have seen)

is it OpenFirmare or yaboot that is claiming device not found?
(yaboot turns the screen black) 

the hd: alias SHOULD work

boot hd:6,yaboot  if partition 6 is the one with yaboot on it...

as for your previous message it seems you figured out the answer
yourself: don't use BootX, use yaboot ;-)
