Hi Frank Smith:

This is quite funny. We have the same name, and you want to do
what I did a couple of weeks ago.

I found a patch for the Linux kernel at Motorola:

http://services.mcg.mot.com/linux/Main/linux_welcome.cfm

It took a bit of tweaking, but I got it netbooting from
PPCBug, using an initial ramdisk. Hint: don't use the
tulip ethernet driver. I used the PReP kernel, and had
to set PPCbug to enable PReP booting. 

There might be other ways to do this, but this method
worked for me.
