It only understands XCOFF binaries. So I tried using objdump and fixcoff on the NetBSD side to convert the FreeBSD loader, and that didn't work. Tried booting the kernel directly (after converting it to XCOFF of course) and that didn't work either. FWIW I'm using the binutils on my mac and not anything that may have been generated by the cross buildworld I guess I'll try stripping the binaries before running them through objdump and fixcoff. 'Course I'm not having much luck with those awful pkgsrc tools either :)) - alex
