Attempting to cross-compile newest -CURRENT

Thanks for the clarification.

It'll be a couple of days before I can try a reinstall.  I'm 
hoping the problem that caused 5.0-RELEASE to trash all of my
disklabels has been fixed.  That wasn't a pleasant 3.5 hours
figuring out how to get my data back...

                                                 Sean

 Not really - the two mods I made (in the one on the website) were to sync
the i-cache after the load (maybe not needed) and to modify the CD9660
code
so it could read hybrid-HFS formatted CDs, which OpenFirmware requires.

 You should be able to net-boot fine with the loader from the tree.

 Yes, that may get you going faster.
