Here is what I have done so far: My Dhcpd is the one from ISC, the config is basic, with no machine specific code in it what-so-ever. The tftp server is the one that=B9s built in, basicalled editied the xinetd.d files. And the NFS server is controlled wit= h netinfo. Now each on of those is working right now. I went into open firmware on the iMac and type boot enet:,loader I TFTP's to my G4, grabs loader, and executes, now, the boot -s command jus= t tells me can't find a bootable kernel, so I circumvent this by typing load kernel/kernel which loads "kernel" in the kernel folder. Now when that=B9s done, I type show (which shows the current vars) and make sure nfsroot and nfsserver are correct, change them accordingly, and then type boot -s, whic= h loads my kernel, and all is swell. Now here lays the problem, I get to and I type NFS, and it spit= s out: Mounting root from nfs Nfs_diskless: no interface Root mount failed: -1 I have come so far, when so many said this was impossible to do Mac to Mac, I disagreed and I am so close. Can someone help me out here? The iMac is a 400Mhz G3, 512MB RAM, 40GB IDE HDD, DVD Slot Loading Optical Drive, firewire, USB, etc ATI Rage 128 AGP (onboard) it is the first gen slot loading machine.

However, the keyboard doesn't work yet, as there is no driver for ADB. Also, it sometimes panics under heavy IO load. Other than that, it's fine, and progress is being made.

This is refreshing news, but I'm interested to know precisely which Powerbook you have, since there appears to be significant architectural differences between the different models (at least that's the impression I get from the NetBSD/ppc Web page [1]). I'm quite unfamiliar with newer Apple hardware, so while this may seem trivial, would you mind pointing out which model you run FreeBSD on?
