That's different than the report fom Jason Dixon. He was trying
current bsd.rd. Anyway, as you mention some problems remain. To me the
most annyoing is the UKC prompt not working, which means you can't
enable ACPI on a stock bsd.rd and you have to compile a bsd.rd with
ACPI enabled.
Other than that my MacBook (with Core Duo (no 2)) works quite ok,
apart from the sound and wireless, which do not work. Even X works,
but you'll have to use the 915 resolution port to get native
resolution.
