By the way, I suspect that the 8641D is not really from Genesi, but an evaluation board from freescale.
Guess what, *it is*! And that is not a secret either, it's clearly written on its development program website:
"Initially centered around Freescale's PCEVALHPCN-8641D reference design ("Argo Navis"), features and functionality can be exposed, software can be written before cost-reduced and consumer-level products hit the market."
"The final Pegasos 8641D consumer design will be designed around this reference product and enhanced by the developer support and early adopter work through the Projects Program."
The meaning of this, and the purpose of the program:
1. Early software/OS development can start on the Freescale board right now (well, in a few weeks that is)
2. Later, when the Genesi 8641D hardware is released, the software is already there and present!
MorphOS is Amiga
done right! 
MorphOS NG will be AROS
done right!
