Hello all,

Does anyone remember how one is supposed to tell Open Firmware on
a PowerMac G5 to boot FreeBSD from the CD?

I got an old PowerMac G5 a few days ago. Now I have it waiting at the
"ok" prompt, but I just can't remember the magic spell I gave to my
G4 to make it boot from the CD, and to be quite honest I don't have
the foggiest idea whether the same magic should work for a G5.
