Good news is that Paulus has fixed one of the last problems with the 140
(firmware configures a stupidly large PCI window) The bad news is I
dont think you can get a debian boot disk with the fixes.

Is anyone looking at creating/testing debian boot disks for PREP? It
should be easy to make a Power3 boot disk too (either 32bit or 64bit
kernel will work)
