My altboot driver is based on the NetBSD kernel driver, so it might not
reveal any new insight.

Especially because according to Oscar Molin the kernel driver doesn't work
either! So I would rather compare with SK98 or PPCBoot (although they are
hard to read).

It would be interesting if you find the time to repeat Oscar's sk kernel
driver test. Load the install kernel with Kermit into memory, then boot
it with altboot via "mem:<address>". Enter the shell and use ifconfig
and ping to test the driver.
