Note that Tim only managed to net-boot in single user mode, so I
wouldn't expect much. Booting from CD will probably fail.
But a test would be very interesting.
In theory, it should work just fine. The 7044-270 was fully supported in
multiuser, except for SMP. There might be a little bit of bitrot on the port,
which I intend to try and get to soon. I would be very interested in seeing a
test boot of that 7028. CD should work, in theory, if not, netboot.
The POWER4, RS64 and above chips are not yet supported. It's on my list, but
in the near term, I'm working on fixing prep booting right now.
