Hi Andrew, > When I have time I will look at a patch sent to the NetBSD list > regarding the way it calls OpenFirmware. The problem is the equivalent > code in FreeBSD is written in C. Is this the patch you mean ? : http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-ofppc/2007/01/07/0000.html If so, then OpenFirmware on the EFIKA is running in real mode. The current FreeBSD implementation expects OpenFirmware to be running in virtual mode, and there are cases where data is passed on a stack that is virtually mapped. Could be difficult to fix. later, Peter.home | help
