I'm waiting for NetBSD to combine the mac68k and macppc ports so that 
it support these beasts.  I recall a thread on the port-macppc list 
about this but don't know where it went from there.  I know that it's 
the lack of PPC601 code in NetBSD that is one of the issues to 
getting this support.  I don't know of the others.  Don't ask me to 
elaborate beyond this since I'm not a NetBSD developer.
