Now that I have a reasonable installation of NetBSD 7.0 working on a Mac LC III, I'd like to try getting NetBSD 7.0 to work on a Mac IIfx. The IIfx I'd be using has 32 MB memory, and at 40 MHz it would be much faster than an LC III for native compiling. The NetBSD documentation says that there has been some progress getting a Mac IIfx to boot; does anyone know whether there is a working kernel available? All kernels I've compiled so far crash with an MMU error. Alternately, if I can't get NetBSD to work on the Mac IIfx, I'd like to cross-compile (or use NetBSD's gcc on the Mac LC III) to compile a Linux kernel; probably 2.4.37.11 would be a good one to try first, along with all the necessary GNU tools (binutils, coreutils, etc.) for the IIfx. Or if it's possible to compile a stable NetBSD kernel, use that along with any relevant GNU tools (GNU/NetBSD?). I see some of the GNU tools (such as GNU make) are already available as NetBSD packages. thanks for any advice.. -Stan
