I know of the existence of the PREP and CHRP flavors of 
OpenFirmware. I've even had occasion to install a few SGI mips and 
IBM rs/6k boxes that use them.  I don't remember any details (it 
was a long time ago) so I'll have to rely on other's experiences 
for anything I put in the PPC manual about them.  So: Please 
provide detailed and clear descriptions of anything you want to get 
into the user manual.

Enjoy!
