Did you download the -powerpc-powerpc ISO > by mistake? Repeatedly I have gone through these motions and this would be a third time. Sadly I use the dvd burner inside the G5 to actually burn the DVD itself and I run a full surface blank first. It is DVD+RW media and I use Jörg Schilling's cdrecord from the sources and always build it myself. It never fails and after all he is the master of such things. So once again I will download the same dvd image and again do a full surface blank and a re-burn and then a boot. Is there anywhere on the dvd media that identifies what it is ? A file somewhere that says readme or similar ... what I see : root@eris:~ # uname -a FreeBSD eris 12.0-RC1 FreeBSD 12.0-RC1 r340470 GENERIC powerpc root@eris:~ # dmesg | egrep -i 'cd|dvd' cd0 at ata0 bus 0 scbus4 target 0 lun 0 cd0: <HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B C006> Removable CD-ROM SCSI device cd0: Serial Number M0063NE3358 cd0: 66.700MB/s transfers (UDMA4, ATAPI 12bytes, PIO 65534bytes) cd0: 4482MB (2295104 2048 byte sectors) root@eris:~ # root@eris:~ # camcontrol devlist <Hitachi HDS725050KLA360 K2ABC20A> at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (ada0,pass0) <HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B C006> at scbus4 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass1) root@eris:~ # root@eris:~ # mkdir /media/dvd root@eris:~ # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0 /media/dvd root@eris:~ # ls -lap /media/dvd/ total 547 drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 6144 Nov 16 04:45 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Nov 20 04:50 ../ -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 951 Nov 16 04:35 .cshrc -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 470 Nov 16 04:35 .profile drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 4096 Nov 16 04:34 .rr_moved/ -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 6177 Nov 16 04:35 COPYRIGHT -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 6994 Nov 16 04:35 ERRATA.HTML -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 3266 Nov 16 04:35 ERRATA.TXT -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 255886 Nov 16 04:35 HARDWARE.HTML -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 119849 Nov 16 04:35 HARDWARE.TXT -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 23899 Nov 16 04:35 README.HTML -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 14333 Nov 16 04:35 README.TXT -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 20415 Nov 16 04:35 RELNOTES.HTML -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8336 Nov 16 04:35 RELNOTES.TXT drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 6144 Nov 16 04:33 bin/ drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 6144 Nov 16 04:35 boot/ dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 dev/ -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 6914 Nov 16 04:35 docbook.css drwxr-xr-x 25 root wheel 14336 Nov 16 04:45 etc/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 8192 Nov 16 04:34 lib/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 libexec/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 media/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 mnt/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 net/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:45 packages/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:45 ppc/ dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 proc/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 rescue/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:35 root/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 18432 Nov 16 04:35 sbin/ drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:33 tmp/ drwxr-xr-x 14 root wheel 2048 Nov 16 04:35 usr/ drwxr-xr-x 24 root wheel 4096 Nov 16 04:33 var/ root@eris:~ # root@eris:~ # head /media/dvd/COPYRIGHT # $FreeBSD: releng/12.0/COPYRIGHT 333391 2018-05-09 02:02:49Z imp $ # @(#)COPYRIGHT 8.2 (Berkeley) 3/21/94 The compilation of software known as FreeBSD is distributed under the following terms: Copyright (c) 1992-2018 The FreeBSD Project.

Has to be a file somewhere that says "release and version". In any case I can not tell what this dvd is and so I shall start over with a full surface blank and then a re-burn and a test of the live DVD. Thank you for putting up with my seemingly dumb questions but there is just so much knowledge about FreeBSD that isn't obvious and even with decades of UNIX and Linux experience I fall flat on my face over and over. Strangely I just keep plowing forwards with the goal here being to build the kernel myself and that includes the zfs.ko which is absent from the DVD. Dennishome | help
