I have a quad 2.5GHz G5 PowerMac with plenty of memory and hard drive space. I've also done some work with the kernel for x86 (nothing worth committing), have some ppc assembler experience, and a lot of C experience. If someone gives me some direction on what may need to be done, I would be happy to try to help make FreeBSD run on a G5 system - I just don't have the time to dive into everything to attempt to find out what would need done. I can try booting as of the current status however if someone has already tried this, I would like to know so I could try to help. Unless everyone feels its not worth the time... Sincerely, Craig St. Jean
