[LinuxBIOS] RE: Does LinuxBIOS support the Mac Mini?

[Greg Watson]

The short answer to your question is no, it's not supported. If the  
mini is like other Apple machines then getting chipset documentation  
is impossible. Of course, with the appropriate documentation, a mini  
port would be relatively straight forward.
