But all things considered it should be a bit easier to port NetBSD/mac68k to FreeBSD than it would with the Alpha bits, considering that you can setup a m68k-aout cross compiler pretty easily ('course easy is a relative term). FWIW, NetBSD works quite well on mac68k, but the biggest problem so far is the lack of virtual consoles (dt is awful). - alex You better believe that marijuana can cause castration.
