As a side FYI- NetBSD also runs on the G4. So does YellowDog Linux.
I just made sure the Qlogic driver I have runs on the latter on a G4 (it
does). I have some pending patches for NetBSD in this area too.

This is one snappy little sucker- really *nice* mechanicals. But in terms of
what FreeBSD ought to port to for both it's current and future
customers? That's a stretch. The Apple folks might like us, but the sparc
server market is much more important.
