I just realized your MDD is dual-CPU. This will likely require a
slightly different patch because the G4 Mini is single CPU. The line
in the patch "dev PowerPC,G4@0" would likely need an additional CPU
which I'd guess would probably be identified as "G4@1"? I don't know
the nuances of Open Firmware, so it's possible the solution for dual
CPUs could be as simple as appending "G4@1" to the "dev PowerPC,G4@0"
like this "dev PowerPC,G4@0,G4@1"?
Since I don't know the real answer for dual CPUs I think that the
simplest solution would be to enter the entire patch TWICE, once for
G4@0 and once for G4@1 in the line "dev PowerPC,G4@0".
If you want to do this in a single operation without an intermediate
reboot, you could enter up to step #5 "nvstore"<Return> for G4@0 and
then repeat from step #1 again for G4@1 and only after the 2nd step #5
proceed to #6 & #7 which tell the Mac to use these alternate stored
versions and reboot.
It's possible you may need to read up on Open Firmware commands for
this dual CPU patch to work correctly, but it should be possible.
