	601 support is by far the largest road block to supporting the
first PowerPCs. Without 601 support, there is no point to doing any other
development. Support could be shamelessly HACKED from MkLinux or
http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/ (NuBus PPC Linux) If you or anyone are
up to the task, the 7200 would be the best place to start since it has OFW
and 601 and PCI instead of NuBus. It looks like there is hacked version of
BootX, yaboot; and the MkLinux booter, that should work with NuBus non-OFW
machines.
