Hello, is the appropriate list for this, or should I try port-sandpoint or port-powerpc Anyway, I have a Kurobox, these are NAS devices, black , smaller than a toaster (2.4 x 7.0 x 7.4 ) that one cracks open supplies ones own drive, then partitions, with a linux root part, swap , part, and the rest exported, it has a linux kernel on flash. According to Buffalo: It's a PowerPC MPC8241 200MHZ 64 MB ram 10/100 ethernet + usb ~ 17 watts Linux reports: > cat cpuinfo > cpu : 82xx > revision : 16.20 (pvr 8081 1014) > bogomips : 130.25 > vendor : Motorola SPS > machine : Sandpoint > processor : PVID: 0x80811014, vendor: Motorola > via cat /proc/cpuinfo, elsewhere I've read it's specifically a 603e. Anyway, from I can tell users in Japan, have put NetBSD on it, (adapting sandpoint). I've gleaned that's possible to boot linux then netbsd, this means I could leave the flash untouched, have a small linux (ext2) part, then load netbsd ( see http://www5.atwiki.jp/kuro-bsd/pages/132.html ), this seems the safetest way to go, but with the sketchy info I have, I thinking it will be hit or miss. So, I'm hoping someone can help me out with more details ( en, ingles por favor ;-)
