What type of system is this board, prep, chrp or a powermac (clone)?

Yes, if you know your system-type, select it and also smp support.
For the type look at /proc/cpuinfo, my one is:

isis:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
cpu             : 604e
clock           : 200MHz
revision        : 18.3
bogomips        : 466.94

memory bank 2   : 16 MB SDRAM
memory bank 3   : 16 MB SDRAM

The machine: is for what you should look. 

Thnx,
