Hi. [I'm around the powermacs again for a few days...] Has anyone managed to boot a PowerMac7,2 or 7,11 (or any other G5 PowerMac? Multi-processors G5 PowerMac) from a recent 10.0-STABLE .iso burned to CD? I repeated my earlier boot tests for PowerMac models 7,2 (8GB RAM, dual processor) and 7,11 (16GB RAM, two dual-core processors) but with a CD instead made from the newer FreeBSD-10.0-STABLE-powerpc-powerpc64-20140608-r267232-disc1.iso and got the same very-early hangup (with fans taking off) that I earlier got with CDs made from FreeBSD-10.0-STABLE-powerpc-powerpc64-20140528-r266807-disc1.iso. In other words: It hangs just before it would normally display the line that includes the text: /boot/kernel/kernel But then I tried booting the same powermacs with the plain powerpc (no 64) FreeBSD-10.0-STABLE-powerpc-20140608-r267232-disc1.iso burned to a CD and that booted them just fine. Whatever is messed up for 7,2's and 7,11's (as I have mine configured?) is messed up only for the powerpc64 .iso's. === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.nethelp
