Those machines can netboot, or boot from USB. Might be easier for you. For that sort of test, usually, I just netboot a zImage with built-in initrd, using an initrd with all the tools I need on it. (A way to build that sort of initrd or initramfs is OpenWRT though I use a home made one). You can netboot any newworld mac with that OF command: boot enet:tftp_server_ip,filename (you need to make sure you have a DHCP around to give it an address). However, make _SURE_ you use the file arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pmac (and not any other zImage). To build one with an initrd included, put the initrd in arch/powerpc/boot as "ramdisk.image.gz" and do make zImage.initrd. That should result in a file name zImage.initrd.pmac that you can netboot.
