Hi, This is a question for those familiar with the PowerMac. In the macppc port right now a mac.boot binary is produced in XCOFF32 format and then run through a program called fixup. I got to the fixup part, but noticed I had produced XCOFF64 binaries (0767 magic), would a mac even be able to boot an XCOFF64 binary? I'm asking because before I hack on fixup to make it XCOFF64 capable I'd rather know. I can always produce a XCOFF32 format binary on the G5 in 32 bit macppc arch, and set the processor to 64 bits inside it. I think that would work right? Although I think I need to be careful with this I think. I'd rather ask before going back and redoing lots of work. Regards, -peter
