Can yaboot delay for kernel choice?

Hi,
I'm trying to add a new kernel to my Mac Mini but when I boot
yaboot just jumps immediately to my old kernel immediately without
giving me a chance to select the new one. I have a couple of
delay/timeout things I got from a Gentoo page but they aren't working
or I don't know the trick to get them to work. If I change the default
line then the new kernel boots, but I'd like the choice at boot time.
I have very little experience on PPC. Each time I edit
/etc/yaboot.conf I then run ybin -v to do the update. This is correct?
Anyone see anything wrong here? Best would be a list of kernel
choices like I get from grub if possible.
Thanks,
Mark
