 I don't think it's a good idea to copy stuff from other ports blindly.
 
 - rs6000 doesn't have vga console bootloader (no boot_com0)
 - there are many "PReP" strings in sysinst msgs which won't be applicable
 
 I'd suggest to omit at least sysinst until rs6000 gets more proper
 device supports and it's actually confirmed.
