The lack of drivers is in turn due to a lack of development hardware. Does anyone have any IBM machines with a 970, Cell, POWER4, POWER5, POWER6, or POWER7 CPU, ideally with PowerVM, that they would be willing to loan or donate for this port? Remote access to an LPAR and netboot server would also serve the purpose. -Nathan From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Sep 28 07:08:10 2010 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 99A72106564A for ; Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:08:10 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from joshua.piccari@gmail.com) Received: from mail-yx0-f182.google.com (mail-yx0-f182.google.com [209.85.213.182]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 561EF8FC0C for ; Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:08:09 +0000 (UTC) Received: by yxn35 with SMTP id 35so2251160yxn.13 for ; Tue, 28 Sep 2010 00:08:09 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:received:date:message-id :subject:from:to:content-type; bh=kdIg+bZ+QaxGFc0ngfZVnjb5PNomeQZFyK0fH3r27FY=; b=ErT2NxLAsEBoR8d21jfEt8IzKQDHZ8QtcXzxnMqE/GNr9c6tNP5zx8TQXQ5USskp2y tkcR139ECXaFAG2qRD0nVD2xhdnvvigRIVSrcbmeZOUcIsiiJXJW6ph3Op7DY5oUGj2M ZBPrY1K/RGZxIL7/mJPlsvF1E/ErM9E4a4Dkc= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:date:message-id:subject:from:to:content-type; b=MlvYscWSusk1KYE3f22HcarxTay6cJx7Eh6YUSdTld3LFAMAY40BLfNi/IdvGelnAz aFVG9wwy39Vs/bhY7oZ8QqKy1Qjbq4clBl7vIxySKOgRKTa0iD186eqCG5fvC68+X0aH au1rITLy19f560NzUYukdALu6WV/3wH2JZMjs= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.100.197.4 with SMTP id u4mr7061834anf.17.1285655963875; Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:39:23 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.100.244.40 with HTTP; Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:39:23 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:39:23 -0700 Message-ID: From: Joshua Piccari To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Subject: Cross-compiling ppc bootcode 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: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:08:10 -0000 Hi all, I've been trying to cross-compile a nanobsd build for a RouterBoard rb800.

It seems that I needed to hold down the shift button. Since this has two disks, I put Debian on the first and will use my old howto to setup the second disk. My sincerest apologies for not replying earlier. On the side note: I'm taking that the G4 933MHz is a 32 and not 64 bit Power architecture, yes? I haven't fired up the G3 in a while, I'm going to try to mod it first. Again, my sincerest apologies, Desmond.

Hello there. This is what I do to boot 8.1 on a Mac mini G4 from a USB = disk: 1) press Alt+Command+O+F when booting to get to the OpenFirmware prompt 2) type "boot cd:,\boot\loader ud:N" where N is your FreeBSD root = filesystem partition; you need the install CD-ROM for this you'll have to type "fw" instead of "ud" which is the first USB disk if you copy /boot/loader from the CD to the root of the Mac OS X = disk, you can type "boot hd:\loader ud:N" instead (and need no CD to boot) 3) IF mounting root fails because the FireWire disk is not detected yet = (this happens to me every time, the "set hw.usb.ehci.no_hs=3D1" trick = doesn't work for me), type "ufs:/dev/da0sN" (same N as above) after the ROOT MOUNT = ERROR message and the system will come up as usual Regards. -Daniel= From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 1 20:05:54 2010 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 E37251065675 for ; Fri, 1 Oct 2010 20:05:54 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from nwhitehorn@freebsd.org) Received: from argol.doit.wisc.edu (argol.doit.wisc.edu [144.92.197.212]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AF2678FC0C for ; Fri, 1 Oct 2010 20:05:54 +0000 (UTC) MIME-version: 1.0 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Received: from avs-daemon.smtpauth3.wiscmail.wisc.edu by smtpauth3.wiscmail.wisc.edu (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.05 32bit (built Jul 30 2009)) id <0L9M00B14NTTIW00@smtpauth3.wiscmail.wisc.edu> for freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org; Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:05:53 -0500 (CDT) Received: from anacreon.physics.wisc.edu (anacreon.physics.wisc.edu [128.104.160.176]) by smtpauth3.wiscmail.wisc.edu (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.05 32bit (built Jul 30 2009)) with ESMTPSA id <0L9M009RTNTOAO10@smtpauth3.wiscmail.wisc.edu> for freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org; Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:05:48 -0500 (CDT) Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:05:48 -0500 From: Nathan Whitehorn In-reply-to: <40D5CC15-8828-4CFD-AE13-2211B9742AE2@gromit.dlib.vt.edu> To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Message-id: <20101001150548.6a652cba@anacreon.physics.wisc.edu> X-Mailer: Claws Mail 3.7.6 (GTK+ 2.20.1; powerpc64-portbld-freebsd9.0) X-Spam-Report: AuthenticatedSender=yes, SenderIP=128.104.160.176 X-Spam-PmxInfo: Server=avs-9, Version=5.6.0.2009776, Antispam-Engine: 2.7.2.376379, Antispam-Data: 2010.10.1.195723, SenderIP=128.104.160.176 References: <40D5CC15-8828-4CFD-AE13-2211B9742AE2@gromit.dlib.vt.edu> Subject: Re: Booting FreeBSD/powerpc from external FireWire drive?
