https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235060 --- Comment #11 from consuli074@gmail.com --- Exactly. The architecture of Apple G5 PPC 64bit RISC CPU is pretty different from AMD64 architecture. This is why a bit pattern that does not recognizab= le effect on an Intel CPU can cause the open firmware of RISC CPU hang up. The machine's specs are Apple G5 PowerPC Dual Core Firmware 5.1 4 GB RAM (OS-X 10.5.4 Leopard) Get your hand on a similar 64bit PowerPC, try to boot your FreeBSD images a= nd ty to copy the boot loader of a burnt DVD under OS-X. Both should fail. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
