I have tried them. 1 of 2 applied easily enough. 2 of 2 didn't want to apply at all. Had to apply it by hand. I kept seeing this error: "patching file libopenbios/bootinfo_load.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 30". It could be that I am on Mac OS X and you are on Linux.

I tried my Mac OS 9 software restore cd. The only effect I saw were two numbers on the stack. So that could indicate a little progress.

I'll take a look and resubmit if necessary.

This is the result of an interpreting issue that I still have to look
into. It can be fixed by
converting carriage returns to newlines, but I felt that a hack like that wasn't
appropriate to add in a patch. Once I can get the OS to actually boot
I'll take a look
at the interpreter and try to fix it.
