As for booting directly, I'm not so sure, since I don't really know the OpenFirmware incantations for doing that. You may have to boot the kernel over the net, and then tell it to mount the firewire drive as root. I don't know if the XServe will boot: it's worth a try. The others should be OK. > Is there any document about how to install FreeBSD on Mac? There's bits and pieces in the -ppc mail archive: I'll see if I can write something up. later, Peter.
