Well, it certainly _should_ boot on any system that a normal GENERIC
works on.  But I haven't tried it.  So, for sure, go ahead and try, and
let me know either way.

And while I'm here, I oughtta add yet another caveat:  SLOTMAN kernels
use the old MRG_ADB code, not the HWDIRECT stuff.  So, if your Mac
doesn't work with MRG_ADB, it probably won't work with SLOTMAN either!

Updating to 1.3B and making sure it works with HWDIRECT are the two
things at the top of my SLOTMAN priority list.
