Thanks, > -Nathan Nathan, It's been a while since you've sent the email out, but I just wanted to let you know that I can't even seem to get a Powerpc snapshot CD of 8-CURRENT or 7-RELENG to boot on my Mac box -- basically the console "dies" after the first initial set of messages come up from the kernel.

FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Aug 18 21:49:28 PDT 2008 I tried the June and July 8-CURRENT snapshot CDs and the July 7-RELENG one. Do you try and grab any params from OF by chance? My settings are intentionally goofed up for a reason :) (I typically boot from a target firewire drive attached to the box). I'll gladly give you more specs if you need them, but it's a G5 1.8GHz UP with 4.0GB DDR2 667 RAM. Thanks, -Garrett
