The CHRP boot disk is broken and can't work in any form or shape.
Download the kernel from
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/faq_rs6k.shtml and use it to load
the debian root.bin disk with a command line like:
boot floppy:,zimage root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1
(Then, I suggest you download and compile the 2.4 stable bitkeeper tree
from IBM. Look at their linux/PPC page.)
