Based on reading the archive, there's a gsoc project with a SF repo,
there's code in head & the effort has seen activity twice. Most recently
April 2013, which was very fruitful in relation to patches.

I have a first gen iMac G5, what's in head will not boot on it, blowing
up at the boot loader stage. Requiring a power cycle.

I have a 12" G4 PowerBook & Mac Mini but no experienced any issues with
bootloader described in this PR. Both are setup to dualboot Tiger &
NetBSD-HEAD with the Mini set to boot NetBSD by default.

The mini is running headless.
