Matt,

I strongly recommend you get the LinuxPPC User's Manual, available
as a PDF file at
<http://www.linuxppc.com/support/guide/UserGuide_Feb2000.pdf>.
The people writing that manual (especially Wesley Joe, although
I'm not sure if he's still working on it) have gathered up a lot
of information about the boot process, and have tables showing
what Open Firmware settings are necessary for most models of
PowerMacs supported by the current Linux port.

 Behind the counter a boy with a shaven head stared vacantly into space, 
 a dozen spikes of microsoft protruding from the socket behind his ear.
