Both loader and the kernel came from my tftp server. After specifying root manually it does boot to multiuser. I could probably stick an /etc/fstab on the boot server and have the Mac mount root on its own. The alternative would be interrupting loader and having it load the kernel from disk (I think that works?). > Also I know that the port is targeted for > open-firmware based machines, any thoughts on being > able to use some type of bootstrap program to boot it > on old-world PMacs? I'm sure someone here can answer this more thoroughly but I believe the developers were starting with support for new world Macs and may expand into older/different models as the port progresses. RJ
