Fwd: Netbooting IBM pSeries

[Naveen]

Getting the same result for the RHEL4 and FC5 one. The netboot image (
ppc32.img) from FC5 doesn't work since it's 7.3 MB (larger than 6).

It is the netboot.img file under the images directory on the CD#1 of RHEL. A
"file" on this shows that this is a 32-bit executable ... any other way to
check ?
