There are some packages that need to be added to support the differences
between x86 and PPC (boot manager, partition tool (stock fdisk doesn't
support native MacOS-stype partition tables), a few others I can't
recall). And, of course, lilo is useless on a PPC, and there are a few
other packages that are not terribly useful.
