Hi,

Quick ping to find out whether the ibook can be put to sleep by NetBSD/macp=
pc

If it can't, is there a Todo list somewhere to fix this ? I may be able to =
help.

I'm still waiting to start heavy duty using NetBSD/macppc on my iBook
G3, 800Mhz, Nov 2002. The last I tried ( Feb/March 05 ), the hard
disks would park with a snap when NetBSD shutdown, and sleep didn't
work. Everything else (including X, with a patch by Manuel from
OpenBSD IIRC) worked nicely.

I currently use qemu-i386 on Ubuntu linux ( which btw, works quite
nicely on the iBook except for the software modem) to run the ski
emulator to test NetBSD/ia64 binaries. Why not OS X ? Because its much
slower in my experience.
