My old iMac G3 list report from 2015-Mar-30 ( =
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/2015-March/007563.html ) =
for head (11-CURRENT) -r280598 still basically applies to head =
(12-CURRENT) -r308247 :

Although the tid is now 100040 if I remember right. If I remember right, =
the 0x7c has not changed, nor has the type of instruction listed.

The SSD boots various other PowerMac G4's and G5's just fine.

Back on 2015-Mar-30 I reported that 10.1-STABLE of that time worked =
fine. (I was not explicit about the -r.)


[Unlike back then there is no problem with -r308247 booting the PowerMac =
G5's.]


[The oddball PowerMac G4 that no version of FreeBSD that I've tried has =
ever managed to boot still has the status as of -r308247: it gets to the =
same point and silently hangs. Mac OS X and Lubuntu and the like boot it =
just fine.]
