I'v got this from a friendly soul on comp.os.linux.powerpc:

ifconfig eth0 hw ether <HW ADDRESS> -b

This changes the MAC address, but it still does not work.... 

qoute from:  
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/intro.macppc.html
"... ethernet address
being reversed (e.g. 00:a0:40:0b:77:2c when corrected
becomes 00:05:02:d0:ee:34).  Running certain MacOS utilities will
correct this...."

Does anyone know where to find such a utility?
