            Bug ID: 233209
           Summary: 12.0 BETA4 installer for powerpc-powerpc64 fails to
                    find root filesystem on first boot
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: powerpc
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dclarke@blastwave.org

Did boot a PowerMac G5 with FreeBSD-12.0-BETA4-powerpc-powerpc64-dvd1.iso
and went through installer using an automatic full disk UFS filesystem and
the Apple partition type. 

On first boot the system seems to find the boot block and begins to boot 
but then halts with a prompt looking for the root filesystem. 

Also provides a list of filesystems found including the DVD still in the 
unit but entering things like ufs:/dev/ada0s2 just result in unrecognized
filesystem type.
