Debian on PPC IBM RS6000



Dear Friends,
This is the first time that i write to you
and i don't know is this email destination
is rigth for my questions.
If No, please, tell me where email.

I have:
IBM RISC System/6000
model 43P-140
other informations:
640e 200 MHz
7043 44-L0258
firmware TIG 97112.
Actually, this PPC runs with AIX IBM, and
i would format all and install DEBIAN PPC.

I have created, using rawrite3 utility under MS-DOS, floppies with files:
first with         boot-2.4.15.img
second with    root.bin.

I found that the 2.2.x linux kernels are not working on these machine.

My PPC can boot from floppy directly, infact there is this option in the
bios boot sequence

Booting with the first disk, after some seconds, my PPC dead (ice)
and on my console (a PC-IBM connected by serial port 1 to the same port on
PPC)
i can see:
