For what's it's worth I'll dig up a couple of these machines and see if any light can be shed on this. There have been a few problmes with netbooting "large" (>12Mb) kernels on ppc64. It seems reasonable that the same problems could be affecting older machines.
One thing you may like to try is moving open-formware

Then try the netboot.
But you're right at least a few of the problems are firmware bugs.
