Hi,

currently it's running in 64bit bridge mode because
the real 64bit mode requires too many changes for now.
And yes, i intend to add multiprocessor and SATA controller support
later, not sure when though ;) There is a lot of stuff to do for
PowerMac G5 currently but SATA support is at the top of the list i
think.
