Basically because PReP support doesn't work under arch/powerpc. Getting it working properly is something that should happen, but will take a while. In the meantime, getting something that's sufficient to get working under just qemu's version of prep, without using the abominable openhackware is a quicker path to a usable arch/powerpc kernel under qemu. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
