Our talented port maintainer, Tsubai Masanari, has recently added support
for the newest Apple PowerBooks.

Two caveats:
1) built-in keyboard doesn't work, and neither does an USB keyboard (I
tried an
   Apple strawberry iMac's keyboard, without any hub between the kb and my
   usb port)
2) You must remove the DVD-ROM from the media bay, or your console gets
   spewed with interminable "unknown event (0x5401330)" messages.

Since there is no local console, I updated the Diskless HOW-TO to describe
how to netboot a system with no console (this is how I got my system
working):
<http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot>

The patch to get this model working comes after the latest snapshot in the
archvies.  He put a patched GENERIC kernel on his site:
ftp://nandra.iri.co.jp/pub/NetBSD/tmp/netbsd.mw.gz

The following dmesg is from my netbooted machine with the original firmware
(3.2.1f1):
