Subject: LCD monitor support on PB180?

I've been trying Mac68k kernels on my PB180 off and on for awhile now, and with
one of the more recent snapshots (and the most recent booter!), it finally
cleared the screen, and printed stuff on what appears to be the console (before
it would hang when the kernel was supposed to start running).  Unfortunately, it
dies after printing two lines, on teh "getting mmu map) (or something similar)
line. ;-(

So my questions are...is there support in -current for the 640x480x4 (16 color)
display of the PB180 (030@33 w/882)?

Is 16 levels of gray supported?  I suspect not, since Booter is 1/8/16/32 in
its menu...no '4' in there. ;-)

I've not checked to see if the serial is spewing stuff out teh serial port
(serial debug stuff is unchecked in Booter, and since it displays stuff on the
console, I suspect it's NOT doing serial console, but...), so I don't know if
the machine is hanging, or just not displaying things.
