I'll commit changes this weekend.

For interim macppc installcd builds, I'll also add src/tools/macppc_installboot before reorganizing complicated Apple partition map stuff in src/usr.sbin/installboot/arch/macppc.c. I've also managed to create a bootable macppc disk using Apple partition map on my OpenFirmware 2.x Apus2000/200: https://gist.github.com/tsutsui/f1f81e194eb2ff1eda6fda4b1bb84d25 so I think we can switch macppc port using Apple partition map (without BSD disklabel) by default as mac68k, but this is another macppc specific topic. --- Izumi Tsutsui
