i am not sure that these machines will netboot, its a miricle oldworld
OF boots at all.  

what exactly is happening when you kernel image fails?  error messages
are useful.  

my netboot mini-howto might be helpful, buts its biased towards
newworlds.  i don't know much about netbooting on oldworlds, its not
officially supported by apple and all i have heard is that some of the
more recent oldworld OF implementations have some half assed netboot
abilities.
