I have the same configuration. On my board I do a
pboot 10 60
to find the information (10 60) you need to do a ioi
You need to have a bootable prep partition (id 41 in fdisk)
Here is my disk partion
    Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             1         2      2032   41   PPC PReP Boot
/dev/sda2             3        21     19456   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            22       143    124928   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda4           144      8727   8790016    5  Extended
/dev/sda5           144      2096   1999856   83  Linux
/dev/sda6          2097      4049   1999856   83  Linux
/dev/sda7          4050      6002   1999856   83  Linux
/dev/sda8          6003      8727   2790384   83  Linux

You need to do a
dd if=zImage.initrd.pplus of=/dev/sda1
if you PPC PReP Boot partition is /dev/sda1

Hope it will help you.
