Yep, you're right, just tried it on the revB iMac and same issue. I
only did a quick install test on a G4 eMac after the build.
For those interested in details, it's bombing out in pmap_bootstrap()
just after the IBAT is set up to direct-map the bottom 256Mb.
I'm pretty sure BETA3 installed fine on the iMac, so I'll try and find
the regression.
later,
Peter.
