Apologies for failing.

Update: 

I got the loader installed. So far, so hoopy.

Now I just need to remember the hackery to auto-boot FreeBSD (something
to do with setting the loader parameters in openfirmware) and she'll
ride. 

Next tasks: 

- Compile better kernel
- Set dhclient to run automatically on startup
- Get X
- Get Xfce
- Get SXEmacs
- Try and get the AIX/PPC binaries for Netscape Communicator 4 to run ;)

(Note: The last point is purely "for the lulz", I don't actually intend
to use it as my main browser.)

Also, re Nathan Whitehorn:

Was there not a way to get the UDMA support before it gets into -STABLE?
I recall a patch. 
At any rate i'm running -BETA so it's not as though I care if a few tiny
things are slightly imperfect :P 


Thanks again for all the help:

 -- Horst.
