I have a couple of times thought of trying just a recompile of the Amiga
Kernel, but changing the cpu option to "CPU=PPC" or whatever the option is. I
suppose this implies a change in files.amiga and the other files in
/sys/arch/amiga/conf/ too. How well would this naive approach work (or
probably: how horribly would it fail?) Also, loadBSD would have to be modified
to give let the PPC take over, as well as the bootblocks. The main problem is
that I don't think I have enough space on my hard disk, neither do I have a
PPC card.
