Well, MkLinux doesn't boot on those, at least not quite, but....  Off the
top of my head, the boot args contain something pretty close to the
following, but not in this order, I don't think):

* Booter Version
* OF Tree (where applicable, zero height where not)
* Gestalt
* Boot arguments
* Memory regions
* VRAM base and size
* Addresses of kernel, bootstrap task, etc.

I think that's about it....  Memory is mapped 1:1 with address translation
_on_.
