The 2.4 boot.img works (kinda), but the 2.6 one still hangs with the
penguin-mac icon (at the point where 2.4 ejects the floppy and starts
the kernel).
For some reason the installer defaulted to a more 'verbose' mode than
I've seen before (on i386 and alpha).
DHCP didn't work; according to ethereal, it never sent out any DHCP
requests. When I set up networking by hand, it complained about
having a "bad archive mirror". It seems to be a problem with the
network driver (mace): it detects a different MAC address to what Open
Firmware and NetBSD give it (00:05:02:22:16:2C in Debian, vs
00:A0:40:44:68:34 elsewhere). Dmesg also reports "mace: lost a status
word".
