Apologies for busting up the party. Does anyone else have a PowerBook Titanium with a G4 500MHz processor? I need the address to the monitor/VGA output. Printenv states the output-device-1 is screen. Does anyone have an output-device-2 on theirs? The screen lasts for a few minutes before the Vertical Stripes show airs. Also, again, do I need to format the usb key to hfs to boot it or do I need to have a hfs partition followed by a ufs partition? The i386 installation doesn't have support for the APM gpart option. Will it need to be compiled with it? On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 9:37 PM, Peter Grehan <grehan@freebsd.org> wrote: > Hi Matt, > > >> Did we ever have an OF-only syscons for FreeBSD (probably early on)?
