This seems rather odd, as FreeBSD 9.1 had been released on 30th. December 2012, including the powerpc64 version. > Did I just accidentally downloaded an old iso, or did 9.1-RELEASE ISOs were > never released? Ah, I guess I just see what could have happen to you. For FreeBSD 9.1 / powerpc there are only 9.1-RC2 ISOs [1] available. But for FreeBSD 9.1 / powerpc64 only the 9.1-RELEASE ISOs [2]. I guess the 32bit version of powerpc never got released, but I do not know the reason or any details. [1] ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-powerpc/9.1/ [2] ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-powerpc64/9.1/ If your system does support the powerpc64 version, then it is probably easier to just do a fresh installed with the powerpc64 9.1-RELEASE ISO. PS: No need to use "reply all", reply only to the list is perfect, as I do filter e-mails based on the "List-Id" header line. bye Fabian
