What machine(s) is the PPC iso suposed to boot on?

[David Frascone]

Status Update:

With everyone's help, I did manage to get my iBook booting to BSD (with
manual intervention ;), and is even working as a NIS and amd client.

So -- things are going VERY well.

I was a little surprised, however, that there was no powerpc ports tree.  Oh
well, at least I have gcc and bash ;)
