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.
