Re: port-macppc/37975: NetBSD/macppc 4.0 locks up at SCSI on Power Macintosh G3

Perhaps it has been rectified since, but I did indeed have the
required patches in the nvramrc; typically firmware-based boot issues
manifest in not being able to boot anything at all, not an issue later
on the sequence. As for whether I can still reproduce it or not, I
will have to doublecheck later.
