First, many thanks to Tsubai Masanari, for his great work on the macppc
port, especially for the  iMac!

But, of course, there are always some questions left:

- Is diskless operation possible on the iMac?

- Wouldn't it be useful if the macppc port used the same disklabel code as
the mac68k port (mac68k/disksubr.c), allowing NetBSD to use the Mac's
partition table directly? That would allow for MacOS to coexist with NetBSD
on the hard disk, which would be very nice IMHO.


Thanks again and best regards,
