Hmmmm... I'm not sure to be able to wait sooooo long ;-)

The real strange thing is that OpenFirmware boots correctly the
1.5 GENERIC kernel, but not the 1.5 install kernel (netbsd.ram). Perhaps=20=

because the install kernel is too big ?
I have done a Open Firmware upgrade : here is the top line when booting=20=

into OFW :

Apple PowerMac3,1 4.1.8f5 BootROM built...

does that mean it is OpenFirmware version 4.1.8 ?
(anyway, with this openFirmware, it doesn't boot either...)

Did some people install 1.5 on G4 ? if yes, did you have any problem to=20=

overcome ?
