I did some testing on Power Architecture systems - to be precise:

CPU		Board
--------------------------
MPC860T		TQM860L
MPC5200		TQM5200S
PPC405EX	Kilauea
PPC440EP	Yosemite
PPC440EX	Sequoia
PPC440SPe	Katmai
PPC460EX	Canyonlands

On all boards I verified at least environment access (printenv,
saveenv) and network operation (TFTP download); where available also
PCI.  Everything appears to work fine, no problems noted.

A well done job, thanks a lot!

For the whole series:

Certain old men prefer to rise at dawn, taking a cold bath and a long
walk with an empty stomach and otherwise mortifying the  flesh.  They
then point with pride to these practices as the cause of their sturdy
health  and ripe years; the truth being that they are hearty and old,
not because of their habits, but in spite of them. The reason we find
only robust persons doing this thing is that it has  killed  all  the
others who have tried it.  - Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
