Hey everyone, Update: Okay so it is possible to load the kernel from a Mac Running MacOS X to another Mac. Here is what I have done so far: My Dhcpd is the one from ISC, the config is basic, with no machine specific code in it what-so-ever. The tftp server is the one thatıs built in, basicalled editied the xinetd.d files. And the NFS server is controlled with netinfo. Now each on of those is working right now. I went into open firmware on the iMac and type boot enet:,loader I TFTP's to my G4, grabs loader, and executes, now, the boot -s command just tells me can't find a bootable kernel, so I circumvent this by typing load kernel/kernel which loads "kernel" in the kernel folder. Now when thatıs done, I type show (which shows the current vars) and make sure nfsroot and nfsserver are correct, change them accordingly, and then type boot -s, which loads my kernel, and all is swell. Now here lays the problem, I get to <mountroot> and I type NFS, and it spits out: Mounting root from nfs Nfs_diskless: no interface Root mount failed: -1 I have come so far, when so many said this was impossible to do Mac to Mac, I disagreed and I am so close. Can someone help me out here? The iMac is a 400Mhz G3, 512MB RAM, 40GB IDE HDD, DVD Slot Loading Optical Drive, firewire, USB, etc ATI Rage 128 AGP (onboard) it is the first gen slot loading machine. P.S. Thanks for all who pointed me in the right direction ~Regards Davehome | help
