I think that Sven Luther had contact to somebody who booted a RS/6000 140p
that way. But that's only hearsay, my 140p is currently refusing to boot
*at all*, I need to take it apart :-(. Those IBM boxes are such divas,
you don't boot them for a month and pooof, they won't boot anymore for
anybody....

That's why I only excluded the PowerStacks in the above paragraph - I am
sure that this class of machines does not boot from the daily installer
CDs, I've not tested other PReP boxes.

CU,
Uli
