It looks like most people use petiboot directly and that support for powerpc is no longer needed. I'd like to drop it. I've never once tested it with my new loader.kboot, despite getting a PS/3 and trying to get FreeBSD booting on it (long story that I ran out of time with before I was successful). I've had reports from others they are just using petiboot (maybe a slightly patched one) since it works. Comments?
