Right-O. Let me know if you know anybody. By the way what kernel are you
using and what booter are you using. I would also like to know how to use
the kernel proply the installer won't install it because its not tar or gz
properly how can I get around this. I tried to boot from the macOS kernel
but I am sceptical about this ie this is part of the problem. How can
mac-BSD work proply if the kernel is on the mac-OS side. Your info is much
appreciated thanks.
