So it does. odd. Yes, i usually do use yaboot on the powermac in
question. But i'd like to try an alternate bootloading strategy, if
possible. It would help me out on another project i'm working on.

Anything i can do to debug this further? I'd really like to try using
mkvmlinuz instead of yaboot if it's possible. It was offered as a
bootloader option during a recent sarge-to-etch upgrade on this
machine, so it would be nice if i could get it to work.

Do you have an experimental branch i should try? Or even a high-level
theoretical explanation of what my other options are? i'm happy to
experment, debug, and report back if you'll point me in the right
direction.
