This is not the processor but the plateform, please look at /proc/cpuinfo to
get the plateform, or alternatively, you could check if it is a power3 machine
or (more probably) a powerpc 604e machine.

> Hi,We tried booting with every version of CD, v3.0, v3.1 and testing, but failed to boot.When we enter "boot cdron:,\install\yaboot" on OF, we just got "OK" prompt on OF.We are using IBM RS6000 7043-B50, CHRP.We tried with floppy of rescue.bin, there was a loop. And I heard it was a bug, so it was obsoleted by CD-ROM..Friendly,Nobel

Please try the netboot images.
