This continued through into 11.0-RELEASE, but when testing with -CURRENT I now no longer even get the freeze during boot; I get a black screen as soon as I press Enter in the bootloader and the kernel boots, and I have no way of seeing what's going on during the boot after than point. Has anyone else had any recent success with Mac Mini G4 hardware with current builds? Thanks, Roger
