I was just curious if you had to use any esoteric patches on the (v2.5
I'm assuming) kernel?

There are some patches. They are not esoteric and not publicly available at this
time :-(

 Also, did you have to worry about using a full
featured boot loader like ppcboot?

No, just use an external debugger to load the kernel into memory or use external
ROM or use the internal BRAM or System ACE (my favorite).
We are working on PPCBoot if you really need a full-blown boot loader.
