Make sure to read and follow ALL the steps in "man diskless" that has anything to do with PPC boots, don't cut corners, don't skip stuff that you think won't be needed and it will probably work for you. I had a bunch of odd platforms netbooting a long time ago, and the manpage worked every time for me, and the netbootings failed every time I did not read and follow it to the letter. Also, having a tcpdump going might help, to see what actually gets asked for in the tftp requests and so on. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
