Without the patch you can still install and run linux
from PPCBUG using the Network BOot command (NBO) and using
local IDE disks but you fail to use the "pboot;a" booting 
directly from hard disk (or at power on)...

AND more annoying, of course you must reinstall your disk
if you formatted it using the non correct ide byte swap handling
