It's the weirdy 32-bit Sparc with OFW & PCI. Text mode works, but from
failing miserably to get X working myself on it, I'm not sure if getting
X working this way would be easier rather than trying to drive the
framebuffer hardware directly, if I understand what this does correctly.

All I seem to remember is that the X sources were quite rigid about what
hardware a 32-bit Sparc had, and PCI wasn't one of them.
