Hi Sven, I was using the daily build netinst ISO image, and apparently it's powerpc directory contains the -chrp initrd image not the prep initrd image. Where can I download a netinst ISO for etch/testing that has the correct vmlinuz-prep.initrd image? Thanks for supplying the command line to use at the open firmware prompt. In my case, it appears to try and boot off of the CD but since I do not seem to have the right image the installer doesn't boot off of the CD.
