Hello, all,

It's been a while since I posted here; I couldn't get enough software 
running on  macppc to make a colocatable machine (mainly, MySQL and a 
few other things require MIT-pthreads), so I've decked out my Amiga 
and I'm running that.

Anyway, I've been collecting information to add to the docs regarding 
booting, but I find that the stories told are disparate and 
inconsistent. I'd like to ask if people could, instead of just 
reporting that a particular model works with a particular 
OpenFirmware version, report what they use to boot (SystemDisk or 
OF), what they're booting off of (HFS, CD, floppy), and model and OF 
version. Even for the models of Macs I have, I cannot find consistent 
answers (for example, some people claim to be able to boot in a way 
that a drive on the UDMA-66 bus on a blue & white G3 works; I'd need 
details, as I cannot duplicate this).

I'd love to be able to at least contribute something to the docs that 
might reduce confusion for others.

In addition, if anyone out there would like to work on PPC 601 
support, I have a 100 MHz 601 card for a PCI Mac (I believe it's from 
a 7500). Tell me you're going to actually try to get 601 stuff going 
in NetBSD, and I'll ship it to you.

Thanks much,
John Klos
