I just committed a stage-1 boot loader to -CURRENT that generates a bootable HFS filesystem in the style of our other platforms (e.g. it will read the stage-3 loader from UFS). To use it: - update your source tree - cd /sys/boot/powerpc/boot1.chrp - make && make install - dd if=/boot/boot1.hfs of=/dev/bootstrap_partition OF should then find everything and load it by itself -- FreeBSD should even show up in the firmware boot menu. -Nathan
