Hi Paul,

 As Justin mentioned, it's Macs at the moment, but I have an embedded PPC
board (with PPCBoot) that will be supported at some point in the future.

 It may not be too difficult to support the Amiga board - from the link I
saw (http://www.eyetech.co.uk/amigaone/oct252002a.php) the h/w looks pretty
standard, and if there's no documentation available for the Articia system
controller (http://www.mai.com/products/chipset.htm), the register spec could
be extracted from Linux source.

later,

Peter.
