I _think_ thats what prepboot exists for. :) It's been a good while
since I tried to find it tho, but gabriel p. is still around so it
still should be working :)
But, assuming the 2.4.x packages ship all of the right images for PPC
(I haven't checked) but there should be a 'zImage' which works on PReP.
But you'd definatly want to test first. :) (On my powerstack, esc at boot,
pboot 1, after dd'ing the kernel to a floppy).
