Is there any support for the Peg II PPC hardware (planned)?

I have already tried to boot a snapshot of 6.0-PPC on a Pegasos I ( a 
phreeboard in fact)

The system booted but failed later on.
I spent some time trying to boot the board via DHCP with no success : I 
did not want to spend time building a system and create a boot cd.
I bought and tried several network cards with no success. The 
information I get was the amount of supported card being able to netboot 
was somewhat limited.

Would I have a better success with a Pegasos II ?


Strange, I cannot find back my previous posts on the freebsd-ppc 
archive. I will download a snapshot and give it another try.
