Mac OS X on non-Mac G4/G5 hardware

Hi,

[Apologies if this is in the archives, but I just subscribed to this mailing
list, and I can't find anything with the list search engine at Apple or with
Google. I know there are 3rd party archives of the Cocoa mailing list, so if
there's a better way to search these list archives, please let me know.]

Anyway, my question is, "What is required to bring Mac OS X up on non-Mac
hardware?" Apple first told me it was not possible, but then I noticed that
there are apparently companies selling "multi-headed" servers that can run
Mac OS X. For example, see:

When I asked Apple about that, they told me that it might be technically
possible to do, but they couldn't help, and I should ask on this list. Fair
enough.

Suppose that the hardware in question had a G4 or G5 on-board. What is
required (in a Darwin port and hardware) to get Mac OS X to successfully
install and run?

Thanks,

Dave
