No. It seems ybin didn't write to the OF the right command for the boot, so do it yourself: Jump to Open Firmware by pressing COMMAND-OPTION-O-F (apple key + alt key and the O and F key depressed) and reboot. This will bring you the Open Firmware 'shell', then enter the following command: printenv locate the boot-device entry then enter the following command (from memory, basically the last part should be the same as what is shown by the printenv except that the partition number is added (aka 11 in your case)): setenv boot-device hd:11,:\\tbxi Then reboot by entering the mac-shutdown command (or something like that)...
