<http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintos 
h_CPUs-G3/PowerBookG3Series_1999/index.html> shows the new powerbooks 
to be of the new world architecture, thus it has sane OF (though 
until we have ELF images that the OF likes, no OF booting).

On a unsupported hardware note: the ethernet controller is a DP83843 
PHYTER made by National Semiconductor, which will need a driver 
written for it.
