About NetBSD/macppc
NetBSD/macppc is a relatively new NetBSD port. The first binary
release for macppc was NetBSD
1.4. It supports most Apple Power Macintosh
computers with PowerPC processors and Open Firmware. For older
(680x0-based) Macintosh computers, see NetBSD/mac68k. There is also
an experimental NetBSD/bebox
port for Be, Inc's PowerPC-based BeBox.
Almost all PPC Macs introduced after August 7, 1995
are supported. There is a complete
list with details.

Similar systems may be supported. We recommend that you consult the
Model support page for more information.
The earliest PowerPC machines lack Open Firmware, and
are not yet supported in NetBSD. mkLinux is the only free unix
that supports them, although if you are interested in porting to
these models you should post to the <port-macppc@NetBSD.org> .
