What happened with the reaper ? I've been running with Jasons patch since
its announcement, and it seems to work on my NetBSD/mac68k-current, i.e.
it allows the system to boot completely. If there are serious problems with
the reaper that are not going to be solved reasonbly quickly, we need
another patch to let the macintoshes boot. I know that you are all busy
people, so please don't take this message as an indication of ugratefulness
from my side, just as a status inquiry :-)
