Many thanks for the pointer, this really seems to be what I was looking for since the last few days. Best regards Rolf Am 11.09.2008 um 17:08 schrieb William Siegrist:

Hi, Rolf. I'm trying to do something similar and as far as I can see there isn't any particular "right" list to subscribe to. I'm also beginning to wonder whether it's actually possible to get a complete Darwin (separate from OS X) system ... but anyway.
Firstly, there are still images of Darwin 8.0.1 for x86 (equivalent to the underpinnings of 10.4) available here: http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/gnu-darwin/ (yes, it's over three years old). You might like to give that a try: it boots and installs without any extra work, and proves that at least it can be done.
If you want to continue trying to build 9.4 for yourself, you can do worse than read this: http://tgwbd.org/darwin/ which explains some of the issues and how the Author's already solved some of them. You'll also need a working boot loader, the source code for which you can get from the same site.
As I see it, there are two main issues: firstly, Darwin is an entire operating system, which means there's quite a lot of components to build, which is a pain since no-one's producing pre-build CDs any more. Secondly, what source is available has issues. But I guess the more people who take an interest, the quicker these should get spotted and fixed.
I hope some of this is of a little help.

I continued building projects for i386PC and I tried to deploy them to the PC, and up to now to no avail. I am clueless how this can be done, because I failed to build a bootable CD. I assume, that this is the wrong list for asking questions on Darwin 9 deployment on regular PC's, therefore, I will join the Darwin-x86 list and perhaps ask sometimes some questions there.
