I installed a basic SuSE from the network using 
http://cronos.dci.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/rs6000/zImage.chrp-power3-2.4.16-SMP-3
with nfsroot.  After all, I made a chrooted woody, booting with yaboot
and SuSE image.  Finally, I got 2.4.18 and I used 'make oldconfig' using
the config file from SuSE.

Currently I'm using vmlinux and yaboot (from Debian).
