Hi Justin,

I=E2=80=99ve tried following FreeBSD 12 snapshots from ftp.freebsd.org

FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-powerpc-20161021-r307747-disc1.iso
FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-powerpc-20161031-r308137-disc1.iso

Both installed OK but both kernels didn=E2=80=99t boot.  After kernel =
started, screen went blank and nothing.

It is different from fatal kernel trap on FreeBSD 11-RELEASE.

Is your Oct 31st snap same as what I tried or something different, you =
built from the source code?

FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-powerpc-20161031-r308137-disc1.iso
