Alright -- I've touched the file and put your newer version
of loader in place. I can't try the rest of the install
yet because I've not found a good way to reboot the machine
and maintain a connection from work, but I'll do it this
afternoon sometime.
Sean

I haven't used it - but, I sent some mail to the -ppc list earlier about
cross-building. There were some lines:
>make <bflags> TARGET_ARCH=powerpc installworld DESTDIR=<destdir>
* >touch <destdir>/boot/device.hints
>make <bflags> TARGET_ARCH=powerpc installkernel
An empty file is fine.
Unfortunately, the loader in the tree isn't up to rev, but there's a
binary
one available at
<a target=_blank
href="http://www.freebsd.org/~grehan/loader">www.freebsd.org/~grehan/loader</a>;
... that can be netbooted/diskbooted.
later,
Peter.
