(kinda) I download the Debain yaboot package. https://packages.debian.org/jessie/yaboot I copied "/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot" from the extracted deb file and wrote that to disk with : "dd if=/tmp/yaboot of=/dev/sda1" Now yaboot loads my kernel, without throwing a "DEFAULT CATCH". It would seem the yaboot-static package is broken for my machine type. Now to find out why the kernel crashes on boot...
