Hi, booting FreeBSD on Mac is not really comfortable. A friend of mine told me that Fedora installs "yaboot", that is a boot manager like GRUB for Linux-i386. Isn't something like that available for FreeBSD PPC? If not, would it be possible to patch the FreeBSD bootonly CD to boot the kernel from harddisc? I think this should be easy, but I cannot find the right file where I can change the location of the kernel. Leaving the boot CD always in the drive and pressing "C" on power on, is always better than pressing "Opt-CMD-O-F" and entering cryptic commands with a german keyboard that has some non-alphabetic characters in the wrong place. :-( Jochen
