I am _soooo_ glad to hear you say that. Still using a NetBSD kernel with the version "modified" to report as FreeBSD and the same for the boot blocks, I have FreeBSD/Alpha running and able to build (most) of itself. It can build ports like ssh and correctly run the GNU configure and know that it is alpha-unknown-freebsd3.0. I'm going to work on a setup that can netboot from an i386 using bootp. That's probably the easiest way to run newborn kernels. It is also the way people will need to install for the time being. Installing NetBSD and munging it into FreeBSD is a pain because of all the crap that NetBSD has in different places. Like the tools in /usr/local. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137
