Sorry to make, maybe, some confusions in the previous posts.
I try now to make clear situation about my test data.

first post of this thread):*

- DEBIAN 5.0.5 PPC it works
- OPENSUSE 11.1 PPC it works

- FreeBSD 8.1 PPC => hangs at "Kernel entry at 0x100100 ..."
- NETBSD 5.0.2 (netbsd-ofppccd-5.0.2.iso) PPC => hangs in the OpenBios
console wuith message "Trying cd:,\\:tbxi..."
- NETBSD 5.0.2 (netbsd-prepcd-5.0.2.iso) PPC => waiting in the OpenBios
