Hi Mark, Nathan Whitehorn from FreeBSD replied to me earlier on this week and pro= vided some hints for getting qemu working with ppc64. I'll try booting FreeB= SD again this weekend with qemu to see whether or not his hints work. If I r= un into any issues I'll be sure to email the list :). Thanks! -Garrett=
