Yes: the main one is the toolchain patch: www.freebsd.org/~grehan/sysv4.h.diff Half of this patch is in gcc source: not sure what's happening with the __PIC__ portion since I haven't been able to raise David O'Brien on that matter. There's another one for module support: www.freebsd.org/~grehan/rs6000.c.diff .. but that won't stop a successful build. There's a minor sysinstall diff, but no major ones I can think of. > Also, I was wondering if there's a way to "window-back" on a > console session, like one does on i386 using scroll-lock. Do you know if the USB kbd code translates F14 to scroll-lock ? If it does, then there should be no reason why this wouldn't work. I'll look into it. > Hmm.

If it doesn't respond to outside pings, I'd say it's hung. There's no easy way to generate an NMI on Mac platforms, so it's time to reboot :( later, Peter.
