My question is: how do I cross-compile my src-tree and how do I have to set up the hard disk I put in the machine (or how do I create a cd-image, because 'make isoimage' seems not to work or I'm to stupid for this)? As my time allows I' very interested in helping get FreeBSD run on this machine (and hopefully it helps on other machines, too).

To cross-compile the source tree: # make -DNOLIBC_R TARGET_ARCH=powerpc buildworld # make -DNOLIBC_R TARGET_ARCH=powerpc buildkernel Now, since this is an IBM Power machine, and unsupported by FreeBSD/PPC, the first step is probably to see if the FreeBSD loader will be accepted by OpenFirmware. The best bet would be to see if you could get Linux up and running on the box, since that would provide an environment where you could gather info on how to boot the box and it's h/w internals. later, Peter.

Linux/PPC runs fine, since 2000. Best, Jens
