As we know, mkLinux <http://www.mklinux.org/> boots on these machines, I 
used it for a short while. I was never terribly impressed, definitely 
inferior to NetBSD. However, since they obviously managed to get it to 
boot, using the mkLinux Booter, which I think is actually named "The 
MkLinux Booter", can't we see whether or not this can be adapted to 
NetBSD?

Perhaps the ppc port would be a more appropriate place for this, but 
surely something can be learned from the way in which the mkLinux booter 
works?

All the best.
