This is refreshing news, but I'm interested to know precisely which
Powerbook you have, since there appears to be significant architectural
differences between the different models (at least that's the impression
I get from the NetBSD/ppc Web page [1]).  I'm quite unfamiliar with
newer Apple hardware, so while this may seem trivial, would you mind
pointing out which model you run FreeBSD on?
