I switched from prep to c99 over a year ago, but the old file is still buried 
in the archives circa 2008 or so:

Look for ppc_rom.bin and make-ppc_rom.tar.bz2 both more or less from Milton 
Miller.  The corresponding ppc configuration is in sources/targets/powerpc and 
it worked at the time.  (I just switched to something I could do a normal
-kernel with like all the other targets.)
