(in the AIX OS...)

How can i do that, to boot from tftp? The machine contains a more or less
runing AIX OS... I want to delete it all, and install debian linux!

What is the difference betwen CHRP, and PReP???
This machine can boot both of them?

I mustn't open the cover of the machine, because in this case the varanty
would be void... :( There are stupid dealers...
So, could you make a bootable CD-install-image to this machine?
In this case please put it onto an ftp server!
Because I know that this machine can boot from CD-rom. I installed AIX on
that in that way...
I have another question: What hardware contain this machine?
Because it contains SCSI card, but i don't know what type of it,etc...
I know only that about the hardware, what the AIX write me out...:(
I think all of machine like this (604e 43P 140) contains the same hardware
by default. Is it true?
Please help me!
(Again:And please make a bootable cd-install-image! I have CD-RW, so I can
re-write the CD, in that case if you fail sg.)
