Thanks! When installing I created an !Apple_HFS partition which I formatted and labeled Boot with hfsutils from ports yesterday so I can copy the loader there and don't have to boot from cd each time. This works great without auto boot; boot hd:loader hd:4 works like a charm. When I had OpenBSD on this laptop I remember I could just set boot-device to be able to autoboot but when I try this it seems the kernel is loading (I can hear it accessing drives/cdrom and the host starts pinging after a while) but there's no video output except for the basic moire x like background from openfirmware. The laptop also doesn't boot all the way when I use this, even after waiting quite some time there was no sshd listening so I rebooted it and booted it manually which works fine. NetBSD also has this issue if I'm correct, can someone explain to me why this is happening?

Open Firmware needs its output set to screen in order to initialize the display. You can do this with a custom bootscript, or you can use the HFS loader image that the system provides at /boot/boot1.hfs. This is a small HFS filesystem containing a boot block and an OF script that you can dd to a !Apple_HFS or !Apple_Bootstrap partition. sysinstall still needs to be taught about this... -Nathan From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Aug 19 20:17:47 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 390DD10656C3 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:17:47 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from axel.scheepers@nl.clara.net) Received: from axel.truedestiny.net (void-ptr.xs4all.nl [80.101.221.70]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CEE078FC45 for ; Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:17:46 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [10.0.0.10] (ceridwen.thuis.net [10.0.0.10]) by axel.truedestiny.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 43FE65446; Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:17:15 +0200 (CEST) From: Axel Scheepers To: Nathan Whitehorn In-Reply-To: References: <1250699898.21000.37.camel@ceridwen.thuis.net> Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg="pgp-sha1"; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="=-GH7NA64+z+lDrqatWIvy" Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:17:15 +0200 Message-Id: <1250713035.21000.49.camel@ceridwen.thuis.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.26.3 FreeBSD GNOME Team Port Cc: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: auto booting X-BeenThere: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:17:47 -0000 --=-GH7NA64+z+lDrqatWIvy Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Wed, 2009-08-19 at 14:08 -0500, Nathan Whitehorn wrote: > Open Firmware needs its output set to screen in order to initialize the=20 > display.
