Fedora 17 Beta on an AmigaONE X1000 (PA6T CPU)

Hi All
I have a new AmigaONE X1000 which uses a PA6T-1682M CPU. I can boot the
F17 beta netinstall image with a custom kernel buts Anaconda fails with
the error "Unsupported PPC machine type".
I was wondering is there a way to bypass the machine type check or
'spoof' a supported platform to Anaconda? Installing a bootloader won't
be an issue as booting is done from the Common Firmware Environment.
Alternatively is there a command to determine the exact machine type
that the installer sees? I could, presumably, then modify platform.py
and restart Anaconda.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Best regards
Pat
