These should move to the FAQ!

The 601: Some work is in progress on a rs6000 port, and it will bring
601 support to NetBSD. When this will be commited, the rest of the job
will be to share the code between rs6000 and macppc.

Nubus powermacs: we have support for the 603 macppc, and we have support
for the chipset in mac68k. Ths job is about sharing existing mac68k code
between mac68k and macppc. Additionnaly, thoses machines lack
OpenFirmware, so we need a MacOS booter (just like the mac68k one) for
macppc.
