I followed instructions using dd command to create boot image from
ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/users/gdt/zImage-2.2.10 and ramdisk image from
ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/users/gdt/ramdisk_image.gz.

When I put disk boot image and turn on IBM RS/6000 I force floppy boot
using F5 key, but nothing happened.

I see in screen "wait for load software" message. 

I think I am using the wrong boot image for my kind IBM RS/6000.
