    It works with up to date stuffs. That is my latest 2.6 tree with
    radeonfb and XFree from CVS. Part of the problem is that the firmware
    sets up a tiled display. I updated my radeonfb to "clear" the
    various SURFACE_* translation registers (among other fixes).

    Yup. I need to figure that out. It's possible that it does like a G5,
    that is boot full speed when you auto-boot and low speed when you boot
    via OF user interface. There may be need for some thermal control as
    well.

    The "N" thing is normal. Apple hacked so that only DHCP servers which
    know about some special Apple extensions can be used when doing that.

    The easy work around is to use the syntax:

    enet:x.x.x.x,file

    where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the TFTP server and file is the
    filename. With that in boot-device (or typing boot enet: etc....),
    the machine will obtain it's local IP from any DHCP or BOOTP server and
    will then TFTP from the specified host.

    Ben.
