I have been working on a "new-powermac" subarchitecture which will
use benh's kernel tree. You can find my current work at:
http://people.debian.org/~walters/debian/installer
I plan to announce it to the -powerpc list in a few days for testing
after I iron out one last bug.
Florian, I would appreciate it if you could test it before it's
announced for mass testing :)
