I thought OS/2 PowerPC needs a PReP box? As far as I know the PowerMacs
can't boot from PReP boot partitions.
If the PReP partition is partition 0 you may be able to use boot
scsi-int/sd@0:0 ( of course with the device path changed to whatever
you're using ) but I wouldn't bet on it.

have fun
Michael
