I've used the EST vxWorks-based BootROM (disclaimer: not the latest

fine.  If you warp your non-vxWorks world just right, it also works
fine.  But there comes a point where you simply get sick of living in a
warped world, throw away vxWorks, and load PPCBoot.  PPCBoot is MUCH easier
BTW: you can use PPCBoot and still continue to use VxWorks  as  RTOS;
PPCBoot  can  boot  more  things than just Linux - although that's is
main purpose :-)
