General clean-up, some tightening of text to make it more readable. Also
added some more info/details. hardware: add Netgear FA-311 cards (sip) added newly supported models added that NVIDIA now has some supported cards moved on-board audio to supported, but untested added usb and pci audio as supported prep: added a "Preparing yourself" section describing how to best prepare oneself for the adventure ahead some rewording of the 'how to get to open firmware' sections to make some details more clear

Open Firmware is a command environment using the FORTH language which the

kernel uses to gether information about your system, and to control some

of your devices.

of your devices. It is part of the boot ROMs in most

never intended to use Open Firmware for anything other than internal debugging and hardware support. It was not

intended to be used to boot an operating system. This is why earlier machines

have so much trouble with Open Firmware.

This also means that PowerMacs and clones that lack Open Firmware cannot boot
