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

iBook (Late 2001) (Aymeric Vincent <Aymeric.Vincent@labri.fr>)

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
