2 things are missing to boot from hard disk/cdrom:
- support for LSI SCSI adapter
- support for PReP boot partition support
However, if you want to boot with -kernel, you only need to have support for PReP boot partition.
Partial specification is available at:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/rs6000/technology/spec/srp1_1.exe
section 5.3 (Loading the Load Image)
and
section 5.4 (Transferring System Control to Load Image)

I fully agree on that!
