Not easily. The problem is that OFW was only intended to be used over=20
serial console on these boxes. Otherwise you'd run MacOS. :-)

Look on the Linuxppc websites. There was OF code you could type in and=20
at least get the 8600 to boot right. The problem for it (and I think the=20
9500 may have the same problem) is that the video doesn't delay long=20
enough in the right place, so video doesn't init. In that case, OFW=20
reverts.

Take care,
