Hi.

I got my Bull (Motorola) Escala T604e today. It seams to be a PREP
machine. See the the OpenProm properties at the end of the mail.=20
Also: I found no RTAS, that is a requirement for CHRP / RPA.=20

I tried to boot a PREP kernel:

It also loads and executed the macppc ofwboot.elf fine. But I havn't=20
set up a nfs-root yet.

Looks like I have a victim to hack on. Hehehehe.
