This is the current Darwin Support list: Compatible systems for Darwin include: Power Macintosh 7300, 7600, 8500,8600, 9500, 9600 Power Macintosh G3 PowerBook G3 (Wall Street) Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) Power Macintosh G4 PowerBook G3 (bronze keyboard) iBook iMac This list is fairly reasonable for Darwin 1.0, there may be more that are unsupported but will work like the 7500 whitch isnt all that differnt from the 7600 or the 8500 for that matter. As far as i know MacOS X DP4's unsupported list is whats supported in darwin 1.0 but isnt listed as supported in OSX DP4. Supporting all PCI macs can be a milestone for FreeBSD-PPC, tho initial support can be limited to the darwin support list just to get things rolling.
