 Oh, sorry.  It hangs just after printing "console keyboard
 type:" message.  Please take a look at the thread started
 from my message posted to port-macppc in July.

 Yes.  Actually I tried the version as of July, then did
 binary search to find the point of breakage.  Not tested
 latset one though, so I try it soon.

 My friends' PowerBook G4 booted my test kernel.
