Hi,

I like to install FreeBSD on an IBM Virtual I/O Server (VIOS).

The current VIOS version (v2.2.3.50 - Standard Edition) is installed and
VIOS is running on an IBM Power 720 Express (Model 8202-E4D).

The following operating systems are successfully installed using the dvd-ram
drive:

*	IBM i V7R2
*	AIX 7.1
*	Ubuntu 14.04
*	Ubuntu 15.10

Every-time I try to boot FreeBSD from the dvd-ram I got the following
message:

.----------------------------------.
| No Operating Systems Installed   |
`----------------------------------'

I tested the following images:

*	FreeBSD-9.3-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso
*	FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso
*	FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso
*	FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-powerpc-powerpc64-20151023-r289846-bootonly.iso

The IBM Power 720 Express has an Power7+. The processor compatibility modes
"POWER6", "POWER6+" and "POWER7" are already tested.

Has anybody an idea?

Thank you for replies,

Pascal
