Restart the computer and wait for yaboot. If you are lucky, is the ofpath of the alternate install CD not so buggy as that one of the Live-CD and you will get a working Yaboot install on /dev/sda2. You will get another question with several options, among them if you want: When you get to the question 'which device you want to use as root file system', choose /dev/sda3 (is where your Ubuntu System is).
