Now I'm trying to puzzle out how to set up the compile system as a netserver for the Apple. I switched over to reading through the NetBSD macppc specific docs for setting up netbooting. Seems (most) everything hinges on the dhcpd setup... Do I need to set up a swap file as well?

I haven't used it - but, I sent some mail to the -ppc list earlier about cross-building. There were some lines: >make TARGET_ARCH=powerpc installworld DESTDIR= * >touch /boot/device.hints >make 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 www.freebsd.org/~grehan/loader ... that can be netbooted/diskbooted. later, Peter. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
