Motorola Powerstack II works fine with sarge. The CD install method is not
supported though, but the netboot install is needed.
You need to download the <other-image>/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd,
put it on your tftp server and netboot it with : boot
enet:<server-ip>,vmlinuz-prep.initrd,<client-ip>
