Can you boot again from the install CD, drop to a shell and then
try something like:

 pdisk -l /dev/rwd0c

?

I am very confused about the installation procedure on macppc, and not sure
if it creates an apple partition map at all currently (and I never got
booting w/o it working - Michael's suggestion assumes there is such a map
and it has a valid HFS partition to boot from, the command above would help
verify that).
