Michael,

I managed to compile the whole thing on Ubuntu, with NO modifications, just to see if I could. It's the 5.0.2 kernel

I put it on a usb stick but of course I don't see how to mount it under netBSD :-(

It should show up as a SCSI or ATA disk ( sd or wd, check your dmesg output ), the kernel should automatically generate a disk label for it and I'm pretty sure FAT support is in macppc's GENERIC.

can you help me ?

I'll try.

Yes, it's /dev/sd0*

So GENERIC has support for FAT you say ? I tried with "mount -t vfat..." and I got a message stating there's no mount_vfat module or something (now I switched it off an d I can't remember exactly)
 
Probably it's not vfat, could it be anything else ?
 

Or maybe it's easier to set up the network  and put the thing in a shared folder on the Ubuntu machine ?

That's much easier and you'll probably find it much more convenient since it avoids a lot of copying stuff around and you don't have to move that USB stick between machines constantly. What I usually do is to export the build directory via nfs, mount it on the target machine and have a script handy that just copies a freshly built kernel.

I tried but couldn't manage to set up the dhcp client. But now it's late and I can't report about the dmesg output or anything.

I'll try to be more precise tomorrow

Thank you anyway for your kindness
Bye
Cato
