(6.0 would not install, it would only panic when loading the kernel from the install disc). 6.2 seemed to make it all the way to the partition label editor, but i could not delete the existing linux partitions. i would like to remove those ext3 partitions, and replace them with the FreeBSD default partition setup. when i hit D, i get a message something like "that function is not used here right now" or something to that effect. can anyone on this list have any experience with powerpc freebsd? cheers, jonathan
