The 43P-140 is a CHRP system, not a PREP system. These machines are
much closer to the OpenFirmware Macs (since the CHRP firmware is built
on top of a functioning OpenFirmware) than the PREP RS/6000 boxes. 

It might make sense to make these machines part of the macppc port,
or to "fork" the macppc port into a "port-chrp" effort.

Thanks,
