I try with the vmlinux kernel image
(ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/mirrors/yellowdog/kernel/2.2.12):

I make this commands in the openfirmware too, and nothing. My machine
stills don't boot yet. :/ Return this error:
/pci@fef0000/isa@b/fdc@iv3f0/disk@0, unknow word
/pci@fef0000/scsi@c/sd@4:1,\ppc\bootinfo.txt, unknow word
/pci@fef0000/scsi@c/st@5, unknow word
/pci@fef0000/scsi@d/sd@8, unknow word
root=/dev/sda2, unknow word ok

Now, my machine don't more boot for floppy! :/ How to to back my old
configuration?

You can send you kernel (2.2.12.image) image?
Where find information about this RS/6000 openfirmware commands?
