I just put a script together last weekend for a powerpc netinst CD. I left
a FIXME in it; maybe you could possibly get it to work with prep also.

I think the PReP- and CHRP-oriented installation documents should be
incorporated into the main installation manual. But they seem to be
out-of-date; I wonder if someone could offer some suggestions as to
what should go in and what should be ignored. (Or, better yet, patches
to boot-floppies/documentation/en/* :^)
The pieces I'm referring to are at
cvs.debian.org/boot-floppies/powerpc-specials/install-chrp.en.sgml
and
cvs.debian.org/boot-floppies/powerpc-specials/install-prep.en.sgml
