Let's hope this will be sorted out in a way that's acceptable to all parties
involved.

After booting the image from tftp, the system goes straight into that mode
without giving me any options, except for language, keyboard layout and
manual or guided partitioning.

Here we go:
processor : 0
cpu : 604r
clock : ???
revision : 49.2 (pvr 0009 3102)
bogomips : 299.9
machine : PReP Utah (Powerstack II Pro4000)
l2cache : 512 KiB, parity disabled, synchronous, pipelined, no
parity

I do not have /dev/sd* devices, they are named
/dev/scsi/bus0/<long path>/part1, then part2 and so on.
When partitioning manually, I declared the first partition "PReP", bootable,
no mountpoint, and the partitioner confirmed that. Seems to be OK.
2nd partition is swap, 3rd is /.

It's located at /boot/vmlinux . Should it be under root?

Done, seemed to work (no weird ouputs at least).
Still,
boot /pci/scsi@2/disk@0,0:1 (:1 being the PReP boot partition)
does not work.
boot /pci/scsi@2/disk@0,0 or
boot /pci/scsi@2/disk@0,0:3
do not work, either.

Is there a chance that this will be fixed? I did not follow the development,
but this platform seems to be discontinued.
