Hi

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience dual booting OSX and OpenBSD on any model. I have extensive experience with OpenBSD on x86, and I want to dual boot it on my B&W with OSX. Any experience would be great, thanks.

You need to learn a bit about openfirmware and then you'll be able to dual boot the OSes. OPenBSD only boot from OF no utilities are furnished to help you boot the beast.
