Well, yes, there is a install-apus.en.sgml in boot-floppies/powerpc-specials,
what should i put into it ? Is there a common pattern for such files ? 
Other powerpc subarches are somewhat sketchy (if not the prep one) And show
basic install and other such stuff. M68k has no such stuff.

Well, i was not speaking of the stuff in documentation, but the stuff in
powerpc-specials. But i guess i understood that there is no rule there, and
that this files should describe subarch specific initial bootstrapping and
such.
