There was a report of a similar error a few days ago on the ppc mailing list. The user then discovered that his bootstrap partition had not been initialised. The first time you set up yaboot, you need to run to initialise the partition. Subsequently ybin will suffice to copy over new settings.
My install guide for ppc skipped over this initially (my apologies - many of us are re-using the bootstrap partition from a debian, suse, mandrake or linuxppc install, so we don't need this step) - it's now been fixed.
note: all ppc doc updates will now be on the main gentoo site, not the ppc site.
