I was able to get into OF with two keyboards, I thought...

We don't deal with multiplexing keyboards well.

I put my current macppc kernel at:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/wrstuden/netbsd.WD47 (Waterdeep 47)

I'm currently netbooting my B&W G3 with it, and using the usb keyboard.

This kernel still has the shift-must-be-first bug, and also has patches to
make it work with my buslogic scsi card. Well, to correct for the fact
that OF update 1.0.2 messes things up with this card. I think they
shouldn't cause a problem w/o one.

(they manually configure the pci-pci bridge to map more i/o space than
Apple does, but since nothing on pci0 would be at addresses this would
cover, you should be fine) 

Let me know how it goes.

Take care,

Bill
