Since FreeBSD/ppc web pages list various PowerPC systems
which have been successfully running with FreeBSD and
G4 PowerMac is not included in the listing, you might
wish to know that I am currently sitting by one of such
systems which is at the moment running FreeBSD 9.2-BETA2
and building 9.2-RC2.
The sysctl values below should cover any important
details about the system...
kern.ostype: FreeBSD
kern.osrelease: 9.2-BETA2
kern.osrevision: 199506
kern.version: FreeBSD 9.2-BETA2 #0 r253704M: Sat Jul 27 15:38:28 EEST 2013
root@yggdrasil:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
kern.compiler_version: gcc version 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]
kern.ident: GENERIC
hw.machine: powerpc
hw.model: Motorola PowerPC 7455
hw.ncpu: 2
hw.byteorder: 4321
hw.physmem: 1054072832
hw.usermem: 955838464
hw.machine_arch: powerpc
hw.realmem: 1054072832
hw.platform: powermac
Additionally the boot time messages show this...
cpu0: Motorola PowerPC 7455 revision 2.1, 1000.27 MHz
cpu0: Features 9c000000<PPC32,ALTIVEC,FPU,MMU>
cpu0: HID0 8450c0bc<EMCP,TBEN,NAP,DPM,ICE,DCE,SGE,BTIC,LRSTK,FOLD,BHT>
real memory = 1054072832 (1005 MB)
avail memory = 1017073664 (969 MB)
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
