OK I'm going to install the last build on my iBook G4 (the one without
BlueTooth). I already try a few times some weeks ago and I have a few
questions before beginning:
- I read on the mailing lists here[1][2] some interesting things about
booting NetBSD directly ; but since I wasn't here at the time I may
not fully understand what they're trying to accomplish. So here's my
question: can NetBSD boot from an iBook G4 with OFW3 without having
to type boot in OFW?

- Last time I installed it NetBSD reported a 600 Mhz CPU (it is a
1.2 Ghz actually). I think OFW don't report the correct values,
but is there a way to change the frequency after boot?
- Do you want to test something on this machine? (I already know I
have to test radeonfb). The details of the machine are below.
Plus, I may help trying to fix or improve things. Is there a place
where I can see what needs to be done?
