  <h3><strong>Status:</strong></h3>
  
  <p>
! A snapshot for the powerpc has been made available.
! This is still rather preliminary and should not be considered
! finished, it is currently about beta level.
! </p>
  
  <p>
! The port does not yet contain real device drivers. It currently uses
! openfirmware for all device driver needs, console, disk, ethernet.
! It can be installed from floppy and network or cdrom. Netboot and netroot
! support is there but untested.
  </p>
  
  <p>
! Currently known working hardware include the following Motorola machines
! with OpenFirmware, PPC1bug firmware is known not to work:
  <ul>
  <li>Series E
  <li>RiscPC
  <li>Pro2000

  <h3><strong>Status:</strong></h3>
  
  <p>
! This is a rather new port.  It supports some types of machines with
! PowerPC processors in them -- <strong>but not all</strong>.  Even though
! there are standards commitees trying to resolve the problem, there are
! significant differences between various PowerPC computers, even when made
! by the same vendor!  This port will run on some machines, but not on others.
! Check the list below.
! <p>
  
+ As such, this is still rather preliminary and should not be considered
+ finished.  However, if you have powerpc hardware we would like to know
+ if it at least boots the install floppy.

  <p>
! The following processors are supported: 603, 603e, 604, 604ev.
! 
! <p>
! The port does not yet use real device drivers. It uses OpenFirmware
! for all device driver needs: console, disk, ethernet. It can be
! installed from floppy and network or cdrom.  Netboot and netroot
! support exists, but is untested.

! Other machines that should work but are untested:
  <ul>
  <li> Firepower machines
  <li> Motorola Net4000
  <li> Motorola Net6000
! </ul>
! Machines that might work but are unlikely,
! PPCP class machines.
! Supported processors:
  <ul>
! <li>603
! <li>603e
! <li>604
! <li>604ev
  </ul>
! Machines that are close to working:
! Apple PowerMac systems with at least a 603 processor and OpenFirmware.
  The Apple implementation of OpenFirmware does not support loading of ELF
! executables (like the boot-blocks for this port), so this issue must be
! resolved.
