I have access to a friend's Mac mini, but you could use PearPC on one of your x86 machines. The website claims it's ~1/15th speed using "JITC-X86", so a fast x86 box would give you a reasonable PPC test environment. > > > I get the following error: "mount: No such file or directory".

I was able to mount and use it on AMD64, but I don't recall if I fscked it on AMD64. After adding a file to the reiser4 FS, I transfered the image back to the PPC machine and it gave me the same mount error. I suppose I could try making an image on x86 or AMD64. > > > > > -- > > Jake Maciejewski > > > > Thanks in advance, > Alex. > -- Jake Maciejewski
