The alpha netscape is for Tru64 (aka osf1). Anyway, as was disscussed here, you need to load the osf kernel module before loading the linux kernel module: # kldload osf1 # kldload linux # cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base # make install Also, put osf1_enable="YES" as well as linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf so that the module are loaded when the system reboots.
