The boot-floppies build on that machine was done by me, in order to help
out the boot-floppies team while their powerpc bulder was unavailable.
I've not tested any of that, just built it.

The Debian boot-floppies team, at debian-boot@lists.debian.org. Outline
the steps it took to get woody to install on your IBM chrp and they should
be able to work that into a new release.
CC: set to debian-boot; hoping they can help you there.
Thanks for testing the chrp set; and sorry that it didn't work out of the
