Powermac G5... Install OK. Will not Boot.

New Powermac G5 dual 2.7. Install goes just fine. On reboot I get a flashing folder question mark mac icon. If I boot into Open Firmware I can tell it to boot off hd which devalias command shows as the correct drive, but no go. I can boot back off the CD and go into a shell, but I don't knwo what else to do.

My 36GB disk is...
/dev/sda1 (Apple Bootstrap 1MB?)
/dev/sda2 /boot
/dev/sda3 /

HELP? Do i need to run yabootconfig? mkofboot? ybin? do i run these after a chroot?

Can I boot my system from the yaboot loader from the CD?
