  Yep, you're right, just tried it on the revB iMac and same issue. I 
only did a quick install test on a G4 eMac after the build.

  For those interested in details, it's bombing out in pmap_bootstrap() 
just after the IBAT is set up to direct-map the bottom 256Mb.

  I'm pretty sure BETA3 installed fine on the iMac, so I'll try and find 
the regression.

later,

Peter.
