It would be good if you could try it. Mine was working correctly with an 
early alpha kernal (built late october), but was having problems with
kernals built towards the end of the alpha period - so it would be good
if you could try a late alpha or beta kernal.

I believe all Q605s (and LC475) came with 64LC040's, so if you haven't
changed it then that is what your machine will have. This shouldn't
be a problem, as you should have no problem booting to single user with
it - though it will soon crash if you try to go to multi-user. My panic
always happens just before firing up the single user shell.

If you want to boot using internal video you'll need to download the
latest booter from ftp.macbsd.com and click the special box for LC575s
and LC475s. Otherwise you'll need to boot with a serial console.

    thanks,
	david
