Hi Sean, Support for some older (cheaper :) new-world Macs - the original iMacs, the B&W G3 and the PCI G4 should now work, although I'm still doing the bmac ethernet driver for these platforms. I've successfully used an Intel FXP card in a B&W G3. Peter Wemm did a fix for libgcc for amd64 that fixed the relocation problems with libstdc++, so it's now possible to view man pages on PPC :-) > I saw last week that the buildworld was broken for ppc > so I haven't tried the cross compile yet. Is that back > on track? Yep, it's working again. > Is it still necessary to patch for the toolchain? Yes - the patch David O'Brien posted is the one to use. > Are we still using the same loader? The loader in the tree won't boot from CDROM, but should be fine for net-booting. A CD-bootable loader can be obtained from http://www.freebsd.org/~grehan/loader > Let me know what I can do to help. Run it up and let me know how it goes :-) later, Peter.
