Results of test boot of PowerBook G4 (GigE).  Options on this 
PowerBook are 667MHz G4, 1Gig PC133 memory, 48G HD, GigE, 128-bit AirPort,
DVD..  Using the 20011111-1.5Y snapshot, I successfully booted the 
"netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz" kernel by putting the ofwboot.xcf and kernel 
on my 1st HFS+ partition and booting from open firmware with:

  boot hd:10,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz

as suggested in private E-mail by Michael Wolfson.  Here's the dmesg
output.  The cut-off top of the outupt ("ys/arch/macppc/" is exactly 
what I get from dmesg, not an artifact of copying).  I may get around 
to trying to install 20011111-1.5Y this Thanksgiving weekend.  But at
least we can say is successfully booted.  Shooting for Successfully
installed next. :-)

Regards,
K^2
