Hi Rondan Rino, I found a gem (and not just the ethernet driver) :-) it's the OpenBSD ppc archives at https://marc.info. One person posted their blog entry there about netbooting on a G4 Cube. The info was good for my G5 machine as well. I personally thanked him with an email. I too want to thank all people making macppc what it is. Having a lot of fun with this lately. And if you've been following bugs@ I have already issues that I need fixed. Much thanks to people who replied there. Regards, -peter
