Well, that'd explain a bunch. So I 'spose the next question would be if the NetBSD loader can fire up a FreeBSD kernel. I've used NetBSD's dosboot dos kernel loader before with FreeBSD, what are the odds it'll work on PPC as well? (Now I have to figure out how to make a custom NetBSD boot floppy, and find a FreeBSD-PPC kernel small enough.) Joshua Coombs
