Sorry to say this, but you never wiil. That box has't got any OF, nor
is likley to be able to boot any current Linux kernel.
It has a POWER CPU, not PowerPC and MCA architecture, not PCI.

This is not an answer to your problem, but

http://www.sjdjweis.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic_id=1&topic=RS%2f6000%20Linux

is where folks seem to be having some success.

That link comes from this list: linuxppc-workstation@lists.linuxppc.org, there
you could find other answers too.
Bye.
