I just tried the 1999/12/04 set on my 400Mhz B&W G3 without much success.

The GENERIC_MD installation kernel bombs out very early in the boot cycle 
and OF regains control and brings up MacOS.  As near as I could tell it 
looks like this happens right after a "quiesce" operation.

The kernel in the kern.tgz file will boot on my system, but generates 
some "interrupt while polling" errors on the USB whenever I enter 
anything on the keyboard.  When the system finally finishes booting and 
puts up the login prompt the USB keyboard is dead, although I suspect an 
ADB keyboard would work at that point.  This is similar to what I was 
seeing a few weeks ago on -current code.

The results are looking promising, but the USB and OF booting problems 
still seem to prevent my system from running with this snapshot.  I 
haven't tried the 10/23 snapshot yet.
