I put OpenBSD on mine, which has a “Yosemite” motherboard (the first B&W G3 released IIRC.) Does yours reboot automatically after losing power? Mine doesn’t. MacOS provides a way to configure this behavior, but I haven’t figured out how to do so on OpenBSD. I thought this might be a configurable Open Firmware parameter, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I’ve searched Google for clues, but no joy. Can I buy a vowel, Vanna?
