Keeping an eye on everything 'boot' if anyone has any suggestions or
thought's and notes of my notes, please let me know, im apparently trying
to solve all the problems i can imagine;
https://github.com/threader/AltanOS
https://github.com/threader/xnu_gcc_libc_etc_darwin
Im especially interested in yaboot configs and grub.confs or whatever, i
need both Debian/Netbsd/OSX and would we even bother winnt-ppc much? Still
my notes here are dizzying and im chillig and nailing down notes, i mean,
no one can kill an open source thought note? No?

I basically decided i need to handle booting on ppc anyway, my debian and
setup is ancient, and i dont want to jump without gaving ' the foggiest
idea' what im doing ' ( i love that commit msg and im going to frame it on
my wall or something ;)
