As a follow-on to that information, I AM able to boot to the PReP
partition now, it would seem. This after I copied the yaboot.chrp to
it (dd if=/<>/yaboot.chrp of=/dev/sda1). I'm thinking that I read
where this is supposed to search for other partitions looking for a
yaboot.conf file so maybe I need to convert my fat partition to
reiserfs or the like?

The only thing this doesn't show is mount points, sda/b3 are md0 which is / - the other two raid partitions are /var and /home. sdb2 is /tmp.
