Yes, very bizarre.

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it.  I really do want the 4.1.8 BootROM,
though, since it prevents my machine from panic'ing a lot under MacOS X.

In any case, Matt Thomas sent me a working kernel, and Tsubai-san confirmed
that recent -current has code to work fine on a pismo with 4.1.8 BootROM.
I haven't actually had a chance to build a -current of my own.

I think Matt is looking into why the same patch doesn't work with a 1.5.1
kernel.

I'd be happy to send this kernel to any PowerBook G4 (Titanium) owner with
the 4.1.8 BootROM wishing to try NetBSD.
