Ok, hardware specs are really useful for a native port, but for NetBSD/ofppc
what we really need is a compliant Open Firmware. Now, what about my
petition to release SmartFirmware sources? Could you setup a repository
holding those sources so that the severe problems could be fixed? Codegen
released their sources with a BSD license long ago, so what's the value in
keeping those closed?

I'd be glad to do some testing and bug-hunting on that, and once the
OF-compliance problems are fixed, booting the ofppc port should be a piece
of cake.
