NetBSD boots nicely on it. In fact the imacs have a Net-boot built into the eeprom so if you hit 'N' when you hear the gong (and hold it) it'll send out dhcp/bootp requests and if you supply it with the current NetBSD distribution kernel, it'll boot nicely running an NFS root. That little {strawberry, lime, bannana, blueberry, ???} machine looks so cool with those Xterm windows :-) Doug Ambrisko here has been setting it up and 'tis cool! Good job by the NetBSD folk!! (The ISC dhcp daemon apparently need a patch to DTRT) julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
