Hello,

Several things I noticed while doing an install.

	o	The instalation notes are
		wrong to the point of being
		dangerous :-(

		I'm sure others have already
		discussed the problems
		but to re-iterate, don't touch
		sysinst with a 10' barge pole -
		it will re-arange your disk :-/
		The ``use existing partition map''
		bit didn't work.

	o	Don't bother with wscons=YES.
		The ofb0 device currently only
		supports one screen.  See:
		ofb.c:ofb_alloc_screen()
	          if (sc->nscreens > 0)
	                return (ENOMEM);
		If you do happen to enable WSCONS
		this is where the out-of-memory
		errors come from.

	o	On a related note, avoid trying
		to use the wskbd.  I don't know
		what was happening but if X (that
		XFree 4.01 snap posted a while back)
		tried to access /dev/wskbd
		instead of /dev/wskbd0, the keyboard
		doesn't work while X is running.

	o	If you're trying to dual boot, I'd
		suggest creating a HFS as well as
		a HFS+ partition.  The ``h*'' tools
		don't appear to work with a HFS+
		file system.

On a more amusing note:

	o	never copy /etc/pwd.db from an
		x86 system (little endian) to
		a PPC system (big endian).
		Only copy /etc/passwd and
		/etc/master.passwd.

		Yes, I should have known better :-)

Since the gm0 device wasn't in the default install I ended up using the
sequence:

	o	tftp boot install image

	o	copy contents of install FS
		to hard disk (wd0)

	o	tftp boot the one of the G4
		custom snaps that had root wired
		to wd0.

	o	hand install

Andrew

PS: Thanks, yes it works.
