I have the same configuration. On my board I do a
pboot 10 60
to find the information (10 60) you need to do a ioi
You need to have a bootable prep partition (id 41 in fdisk)
Here is my disk partion
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 2 2032 41 PPC PReP Boot
/dev/sda2 3 21 19456 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 22 143 124928 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda4 144 8727 8790016 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 144 2096 1999856 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 2097 4049 1999856 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 4050 6002 1999856 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 6003 8727 2790384 83 Linux
You need to do a
dd if=zImage.initrd.pplus of=/dev/sda1
if you PPC PReP Boot partition is /dev/sda1
Hope it will help you.
