assuming those are build numbers? some info for those on x86 boxes:ppc boots with a varient of ofwboot(.b) found on either bsd files (off cd u build yoursself) or similar. Its an ELF binary.this points to a ram disk on Knoppix, or at least the BSect does,then to the kernel to launch the OS.
we could intercept this and point it to /boot/beos/ [haiku.zimage].ofwboot alone will not boot, you need a ramdisk or kernel following it to get anywhere.
yaboot or simlar is used to set the bootsector with ofwboot.b, thereby not needing it or needing OF commands to boot.Far as i know, this was how linux bypassed the Mac OS bootloader.
otherwise OF prints out : 'SIZE is TOO SMALL' or 'load error'grabbing the rest of the files now, but dont have a spare hd with me to test when it comes to that, IF I can get that far.

How hard can it be?Inspired by Duane I tried to build for ppc as well last night. :-)I tried on OpenSolaris snv_93 just to find out that it works for neither ppc nor x86. There are no compile errors but it ends with some emptyish output, followed by:The compiler specified as Haiku target compiler is not a valid Haiku cross-compiler. Please see ReadMe.cross-compile.That was for: `../configure --build-cross-tools-gcc4 ppc ../../buildtools/`And no Jamfile got generated in the folder. Do I have to add Solaris host support somewhere? If yes, where?take a look at these changes, they can be a good starting point for adding Solaris: r26583, r26584, r26588, r26589, r26590, r26585 and r26587.Best Regards, Karsten
