I realize (now=E2=80=A6) that the 7043-150 isn=E2=80=99t in the supported sy=
stems list but I figured I=E2=80=99d give it a try. With an 8.0 release CD, t=
he kernel starts but hangs in OpenPIC (transcribed, please forgive any error=
s):

	OpenPIC Version 1.1: Supports 4 CPUs and 16 interrupt sources.

Here=E2=80=99s a link to a screen shot:

The very latest ofppc daily ISO gives a similar result, with some stuff abou=
t preferring USB first. (This system doesn=E2=80=99t have USB, I can provide=
 a complete inventory upon request, but other than having a 18GB couple driv=
es, 512MB RAM, and a 4-port NIC, it=E2=80=99s a fairly stock 43p-150.)

I can put images on floppy and attempt to boot them if anyone wants to poke a=
t it. I could also set up a system for building ofppc if people just want to=
 propose tweaks for me to try either atop the netbsd-8 branch or current.
