I can't fully test it, but I don't mind adding it. depends on the machine, for beige g3s, and several others it needs non-free, non-distributable Apple nvramrc patches. some need a different load-base. for others it requires a ritual goat sacrifice. for some it just needs some unholy witchcraft etc... one thing that would help is setting boot-command to that hack that waits for the disk to spin up and tries again. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
