https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235060 --- Comment #18 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to consuli074 from comment #16) So you do not have any specific evidence of any specific problem "bit patterns" existing but just a hypothesis. I'm not up for such an open-ended activity as investigating your hypothesis or helping you do so. If there ever was something already-identified as something-specific to look at I might do that. Francis Little reports in comment #17 having successfully booted from: FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso on a CD on a PowerMac G5 "quad". Also having installed from it. (This would not eliminate intermittent problems as a possibility and may indicate a dependence on what has been installed in the various machines folks have tried. There is also the question of how various CDs were produced from .iso files that could be involved.) He also reports on later boots needing to set usefdt=3D1 first --but that is what bugzilla 233863 and the patches there are about. But the content is not designed for a non-programmer so it is not clear that going there would help. But, for reference, https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D233863 --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
