Nice!

If I remember correctly OF can use the onboard video ( the /platinum
device ) - there's no NetBSD driver though. Shouldn't be hard to write
since it's just a dumb framebuffer, probably similar enough
to /valkyrie ( see macppc/dev/valkyriefb* and videopll* )
I'll dig up my 7200 and do that as soon as I can spare some time.

have fun
