Question about CentOS 4.0beta PowerPC boot CD

Hi all!
Does anyone remember the CentOS 4.0 beta boot CD for PowerPC?
Yeah, i used to install it on a G4 recently ;-)
This is the only one type of boot CD that go to boot a Kernel on qemu (-system-ppc)
with the Open(Hack'ware)Bios. (The Kernel itself hangs up then)
Neither the Yellow Dog 6 DVD, nor Fedora 6 - 9 PPC edition, nor Ubuntu / Debian
boots on Qemu ppc. So I wanted to adapt the running yaboot loader and configuration
to boot the YDL 6 Kernel and initrd to install the stuff to make a mock build server for
the el5 ppc Target.
I know z00dax is busy with the ppc/ppc64 build these days ..
But when I (re-)create the .iso with mkisofs, Qemu does not
recognize the CD-Image as a boot CD.
how have you created the boot cd ? following this tuto ?
http://penguinppc.org/ppc64/power-bootable-iso/
My Question: Does you (the creator of the 8.5 MB boot.iso) know, how you created the
.iso Image? Which options did you have used? I did not have found any documentation
how to create those CDs of that type (with a special Macintosh boot partition) that you
have produced. Would you like to help me saying how to create qemu-system-ppc
compatible boot discs ... ?
Thanks in advice,
Brian Schueler
