Well, let's see...

Graham Stoney commented on # 2, so I'll give a try on # 1 :-)

There  once  was  a   bug   with   the   IP   address   handling   in
arch/ppc/mbxboot/misc.c   ;   if   you   can   find   a  place  where
"nfsaddrs_string" you should be able to figure out how to replace the
existing code with the following snippet:

                ...
                dp = nfsaddrs_string;           /* nfsaddrs=x.x.x.x:y.y.y.y     
*/
                while (*dp) {
                        putc(*cp++ = *dp++);
                }
                /* add IP addresses as <my_ip>:<serv_ip> */
                for (i=0; i<4; ++i, ++byte) {
                        unsigned char outbuf[4];        /* 3 digits + '\0' */
                        unsigned char *optr = &outbuf[sizeof(outbuf)-1];

                        *optr = '\0';

                        do {
                                *--optr = (*byte % 10) + '0';
                                *byte /= 10;
                        } while (*byte);

                        while (*optr) {
                                putc (*cp++ = *optr++);
                        }

                        if (i<3) {
                                putc(*cp++ = '.');
                        }
                }
                putc(*cp++ = ':');
                ...
