Which board are you speaking of? The FADS?

It seems that for some reasons (search this list) the FADS boards are
not really attractive to the  people  who  did  most  of  the  kernel
development.

All the rest of the Linux software does not depend  on  the  specific
board.  You  should  be  able  to  use  any  of  the  existing  cross
development kits and native tool sets.

Please see the PPCBoot project at http://ppcboot.sourceforge.net , or
doewnload the sources from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/ppcboot

There are a few people who have PPCBoot running on FADS systems.  But
I cannot really help you here, since we don't use FADS boards.

Wenn Du weitere Fragen hast, kannst Du  die  auch  gern  auf  Deutsch
stellen :-)

Hope it helps,
