Hm. Not entirely in line with my experience. Can you share the configs
you used?

Using http://david/woodhou.se/powerpc-merge-32.config it doesn't
actually boot on my powerbook. I'll try it on the Pegasos later or
tomorrow, where I have a serial console; it dies very early.

Aside from disabling CONFIG_NVRAM because call_rtas() isn't implemented
anywhere, I also needed to do this to make that config build:
