The netboot iso image directory structure looks like this:
(this is the 20061102 powerpc64 netboot "mini.iso")
install/
install/boot.msg
install/netboot-initrd.gz
install/netboot-linux
install/ofboot.b
install/TRANS.TBL
install/yaboot
install/yaboot.conf
TRANS.TBL
There's no /ppc/bootinfo.txt, or /ppc or /etc directories at all.
