Hi Andrew, >I'm looking at th e feasibility of getting FreeBSD going on these boards. >I believe they both use openfirmware... > >Any pointers to info / examples would be greatly appreciated ... Having OpenFirmware simplifies the job a lot. The main issue is device drivers, and the bus-probing code. Some code to have a look at is uninorth.c/grackle.c, which are the host bridges on supported Mac models (grackle is the Motorola MPC106 host-pci bridge). A scan of the ppc email archives will help with cross-build instructions. And let me know if you have any questions: it's certainly a goal of mine to get the port running on 8260 h/w at some stage. later, Peter.dhome | help
