I understand you want to cross-compile the whole system? I've never
heard, that it would be possible under Linux. And if there is a way to
produce the correct FreeBSD binaries on Linux, remember the "make
world" relies on some file outside /usr/src and /usr/obj (I know of
/etc/make.conf at least but I'm sure there are others).

Can't you just swap the hard disks for the time? ;)

cu, Oliver
