Ahh okay it looks like your system booted correctly but for one reason or another you don't have a console. I think you needs to do something like: a) Boot into a rescue environment - I'd do this by adding init=/bin/bash to the commandline in yaboot b) remount the / filesystem read/write - mount -o,remounr,rw / # should do it. c) change /etc/inittab to run a getty on hvc0 d) Enable root logins on hvc0 by editing /etc/securetty e) finish the boot brocess with "exec /sbin/init" This /should/ get you a completely booted system with a getty available via SOL. An alternate approach would be to boot into the rescue environment and mount the root fs read write (steps a and b above). Bring up the network and install sshd. Then when the system boots and enables sshd you should be able to get into it. From there you can experiment with getting the SOL console to work. Hope that helps.
