NetBSD kw6000 10.0_RC1 NetBSD 10.0_RC1 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Nov 5 18:30:08 UTC 2023 mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC macppc
>Description:
The gpufw set seems to be empty on macppc.
Given that a lot of macppc machines comes with ati/amd or nvidia GPUs, it is probably better if the firmware sets are included too to enable hardware acceleration?

See e.g: https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0_RC1/macppc/binary/sets/gpufw.tgz
>How-To-Repeat:
Install like usual, and observe that /libdata/firmware and /usr/libdata/firmware does not contain any GPU firmware.

State-Changed-Why:
this is expected because there's more work to supportthe newer drm code on macppc besides the firmware sets. Sorry.
