"Etherboot" is PC specific and last time I checked that was also
true for "Netboot" (unless Gero totally revamped the code). The
"mknbi" programs will not work for you unless you port them to your
architecture (PowerPC). I am not ruling out that this can be done,
but I advise you that it will be more than just an afternoon's
work.
