Howdy,

Now that a lot of the bugs with the newer G4 models have been shaken out,
I'd just like to get a summary of which ones work with 1.6_BETA so they can
go into the INSTALL notes.

reported as working with 1.6_BETA
	eMac (Josh Elsasser <jre@vineyard.net>)

reported as working with -current
	PowerBook G4 (DVI) (grant beattie <grant@netbsd.org>)
	PowerMacintosh G4/733,867,800MP (Quicksilver) (Makoto Fujiwara
<makoto@milano.ki.nu>)
	iBook (Late 2001) (Aymeric Vincent <Aymeric.Vincent@labri.fr>)

no recent reports
	Apple Xserve
	PowerMacintosh G4/867,933,1000MP (Quicksilver 2002)
	PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)
	iMac (Summer 2001)
	iMac (Flat Panel)
	iBook (FireWire), iBook SE (FireWire)
	iBook (14.1 LCD)
	iBook (Summer 2002)

These are all Open Firmware 3 models, so it's simply a matter of
downloading the following two files to the top level of your hard drive and
typing
0 > boot hd:ofwboot.xcf netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz

Thanks!
