It didn't. Passing it through s/MacRISC3/MacRISC4/ makes it boot though.
The result is in boot.iso.fixed in the same directory. I'll send the
incremental patch to fix that in rawhide too.

Yeah, fairly much the same behaviour on the spare PPC32 machine I tried
-- loads the network driver, keeps insisting that I select a network
driver or supply a driver disc, refuses to install. Is that one fixed in
rawhide?
