How well did it apply? > The latest MOL (0.9.27) will run without a ROM image. It can load the "newworld" ROM-in-RAM used by B&W G3s and can boot from a CD. That means that it should be possible to directly boot the MacOS install CD and install MacOS from MOL without any ROM image on any PPC machine running linux. (There is no more need for a special SCSI driver neither, MOl now contains its own block driver). I have been tested successfully with MacOS 9.0. So basically, MOL can work on APUS. However, the kernel patches will probably have some trouble on the APUS kernel since, I think, this kernel has a very different memory management and some specific stuffs in the interrupt vectors. Only an APUS kernel guru could answer about this but you can try and see if it works "as-is".
