Yes, this is what Herve was fixing for PREP too.

Uff... I guess we have to look at all cases for big-endian machines, and
make sure there is an odd number of exchanges.  Aurelien/Alex/Herve,
where can I find images for mips malta, mips jazz, ppc4xx and prep?
Edgar, what about sh4eb (IIRC one of the two machine types supported PCI)?

Also, is all the firmware included in pc-bios/?

For g3beige and mac99 I can use mintppc, I think, that's what I
installed on my old G4 PowerBook.
