On the subject of: FreeBSD for the PowerMac?

First off, I'd like to say I'd be interested in a FreeBSD/PPC if such an option existed... Secondly, I was wondering if FreeBSD will work under VirtualPC. I remember someone trying it and finding a bug in the VirtualPC emulation. VirtualPC was recently updated, and I was wondering if anyone had tried FreeBSD after that update. (the release notes for the VirtualPC upgrade have nothing that suggests this bug was fixed, but that may be just because they don't claim to officially support FreeBSD at the moment). --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer (MIME & NeXTmail capable) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
