I followed instructions using dd command to create boot image from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/users/gdt/zImage-2.2.10 and ramdisk image from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/users/gdt/ramdisk_image.gz. When I put disk boot image and turn on IBM RS/6000 I force floppy boot using F5 key, but nothing happened. I see in screen "wait for load software" message. I think I am using the wrong boot image for my kind IBM RS/6000. Douglas.
