https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235060 --- Comment #13 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke@blastwave.org> --- (In reply to Mark Millard from comment #12) I have multiple of these old ppc64 G5 units nearby and two of them running well. One of them is the so-called "quad" and then other has two processors that are single core. I don't know the model name. Regardless I stand by the suggestion that these are historical computing artifacts which are merely popular due to the fact they are dirt cheap and in the back of everyones warehouse gathering dust. There are other items of greater interest at this time than the boot or no boot issue with some release DVD. However I can try both my PowerMac units later today or tomorrow.
