[CS-FSLUG] Apple to drive OpenBIOS support on x86?

[Timothy Butler]

Well, I'd tend to discount reading too much into it just yet. These  
are systems Apple is putting together for the sole purpose of getting  
developers x86 Macs. Whether Apple goes with OpenFirmware or not in  
the final version, they probably needed something faster than they  
could ready their own, stable version on the new platform.
