I booted with a kernel image from SuSE. You can download one on:
http://cronos.dci.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/rs6000/
You can boot from network, as howto says. My dhcp configuration
has a section as:
host power3 {
# Desde el OpenFirmware de IBM 7044-140P:
# 0> boot net console=ttyS0,9600
filename "/tftpboot/zImage.chrp-power3-2.4.16-SMP-3";
hardware ethernet 00:06:29:04:30:ae;
fixed-address my_ip;
}
