Hi Dave,

> 1) Sysinstall works on ppc

  Yes, thanks to Suleiman Souhlal. An updated kernel is required
since the GEOM conftxt output was updated to make it easier
for sysinstall to parse. Binaries available at:

   www.freebsd.org/~grehan/kernel.sysinstall
                          /sysinstall

  The changes for libdisk have been committed, and just awaiting a
review for the sysinstall mods.

> 2) ADB driver in development

  I've slowly been working on that for a long while, and just need some
uninterrupted time to get it going.

  Maybe bigger news is that Suleiman did the build changes required for
a 'make release'. I've yet to integrate/test that, but it looks
good !

later,

Peter.
