yeah, trolling the XPostFacto board, the 8600+7000 is a very common setup,
so i *know* that the Radeon will work in the Mac, and will most likely do
so under OS X, it's just a matter of getting NetBSD to work with it.

OS9/OSX have the benefit of being able to use /AAPL,ROM to bootstrap stuff,
is there some sort of magic in there that we can steal/borrow for NetBSD?
