Well. With a look at your dmesg, it should be not that hard to get the
machine working as autoconfig already starts. Maybe only a few hours for
an experienced kernel hacker. But unfortunately I am only a novice and
you are no coder at all.=20

There are PReP machines with openfirmware like the Motorola PowerStack
II am hacking support for at the moment. PReP is the system (hardware)
architecture. It can use different types of firmware and OpenFirmware is
one possibility.

Where does the Linux kernel stop and what kernel version is it?
I had big problems installing debian on 43p-100 (7248) as kernel 2.2.x
hangs when it trys to scan the SCSI bus on the NCR / Symbios 53C810=20
adapter. Kernel 2.4 just worked.=20
