my biggest gripe, tho prolly -not- a major issue with you, luke, but 
it was with me..

port macppc in general does not support greater than 8bpp resolution. 
first, what a waste of a beautiful LCD and second, it doesn't do me 
any good wanting to be able to use NetBSD as a temporary fill in for 
when i dont want to use MacOS for graphics.

im a wee bit OT but it annoyed me enough to delete NetBSD from my 
macppc machines.
