Hi Andreas, > Well, the handbook is a bit vague. I managed to boot via nfs after > tweaking var and tmp in init.d.

That's definitely a file-locking issue. >> http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2002/08/05/0002.html > > > Ah, Ben the man. Ok, where would such a sequence go? > arch/powerpc/macppc? ? cpu_setup ? It's sys/powerpc on FreeBSD, but the actions are split across the /powerpc and /powermac directories. Very ugly :( Anyways, there's no PMU support yet so it's moot for the time being. > For example I tried to build a kernel.

It might be worth running 'top' in another login window to see what's going on. later, Peter.
