I might be wrong but I think we're talking about two different things here ... I do not use yaboot on this oldworld Mac but I determined that you CAN pass kernel parameters in your yaboot.conf -- put them in the second stage bootloader section. it will look like this: image=/vmlinux label=l root=/dev/hda11 read-only append="video=ofonly" I think all of those are kernel parameters, but the append="" part is where you will replace the ofonly with the exact parameters needed for your video. Be very careful what you put there, however, because you can damage your LCD if you use a bad parameter and leave it on the screen too long. The error message you mentioned sounds like it comes from mol -- have you run molvconfig to set the available video modes? After you find the kernel parameters I would run molvconfig again to make sure you have selected the best modes for your system.
