Orion,
I think I wrote my previous message before being fully awake! The issue I
think was trying to point to the vm on the linux partition. By changing
the yaboot.conf according to your email, I've managed to boot Debian
(while on the bus to work!). As I'm not connected to anything, it keeps

And tie the bus on repeated I/O trying to read the timer, fighting
perhaps with another processor on SMP?
No thanks.
The pci/33 bus is much slower than the arbus/max

It runs at the same frequency (18.432MHz) on all
machines, so that'll save a multiply ;) Too bad for
the non-Macs, but else you'll have to special-case
the 601 (a

On 19 Feb, this message from Segher Boessenkool echoed through cyberspace:

Because not every PowerPC, and not even every Mac, has a KeyLargo?

I'm not sure things like 4xx implement them "as-is"...
It is part of the user-level 32-bit PEM -- they better
implement it :)

I'm still wondering why the timebase is not used to perform these
delays. I know that the 601 will add a slightc ompl
