installing using serial console and cross compiling

[Jeanie Zick <jeanie%jeaniez.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I am installing on a G4 Xserve. First of all, I would like to use a  
serial console to do the install. I have googled and I just can't  
seem to find this. What should my settings be? Also, should I be  
using minicom or is there something else that someone could recommend  
or is there something built into NetBSD?

Next, I have done an install and the system stops booting at root  
device. I tried building the cross compiler on a 68060 system running  
4.0.1 with "./build.sh -m macppc -O /usr/obj --T /usr/tools tools",  
but it core dumped with:

Also, where would I find info on what should be in /etc/mk.conf to  
optimize for a G4?

Thanks,
