This continued through into 11.0-RELEASE, but when testing with -CURRENT 
I now no longer even get the freeze during boot; I get a black screen as 
soon as I press Enter in the bootloader and the kernel boots, and I have 
no way of seeing what's going on during the boot after than point.

Has anyone else had any recent success with Mac Mini G4 hardware with 
current builds?
