Basically because PReP support doesn't work under arch/powerpc.
Getting it working properly is something that should happen, but will
take a while.  In the meantime, getting something that's sufficient to
get working under just qemu's version of prep, without using the
abominable openhackware is a quicker path to a usable arch/powerpc
kernel under qemu.
