What the advantage to use Genesi Pegasos II comparing using Apple PowerMac? 
What would be the major difference to port Solaris in these two type machines, 
as far as we tell currently? I bought an old PowerMac G4 GigbitEthernet, a 
dual-7400 machine from ebay(the only one that I can afford for this work). It 
runs pretty good,  I have no problem to compile GRUB2 and  configure it to load 
and boot the linux kernel. 

Do we port from Solaris x86? but it seems that sparc is more similar to PowerPC 
than x86, am I right?

Also, netbsd-macppc is a very good reference for the porting. 

BTW, sharing some doc for the CHRP spec:
