I tried the 32bit PPC, as Nathan suggested. He said the 64-bit requires POW= ER4=20 and higher. Upon selecting "Install Devices" from SMS, and then selecting t= he=20 CD-ROM, SMS doesn't recognize the CD as bootable and doesn't list the OS=20 (FreeBSD). With Debian and NetBSD it finds that the CD is bootable and list= s=20 the title. I think this is because they both use yaboot, and I don't think the FreeBSD= =20 uses it. Can you confirm this? I don't have a macintosh to test the FreeBSD= PPC=20 CD. >Also, what is the layout of the NetBSD CD? The PPC(64) CDs have a HFS boot >partition that is recognized by the Apple-Mac firmware version of Open >Firmware/Boot. You may want to contact the Open Firmware mailing list and >ask for the boot commands. Well, NetBSD uses a different port for Mac PPC and OpenFirmware PPC (the IB= M=20 and Pegasus and such). Debian uses one CD for all PPC with both 32bit and=20 64bit kernels on it. =2D- Lyubomir Grigorov (bgalakazam) --nextPart2521145.q4h2r3rchX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJPC3whAAoJEDmxOw4kunU9+a8QAIgWGHArEG1HPPYrzCSe03Tk chyTr+2xTKc01DXwbwFn216m/rCxpC5kJUpRFZo/cqmCaLpuQ2BSnGLIClFB2yP+ gTAPHj0xhSvdBMpwel0RBAjwNys1qiL0CpA4xVdWe6xnVqXFFCdv3l7ou9W0qwRF 3KARJSSjEBDU0wM2ZH1dds/pc0PPPVeVejz/hWw+IHrUMxSMokyWTB2w9Ckw4aXh KaUEJl1s9KjYHBnPLRMwcbWUrA4adbZcrEUVXOMkFkNtCT/mNXvVwvflg/idR0Oc zHuBnTaj2fu4ygaCrv8FmOD1lcy6u0s1obd7iWs6g3mCGjsOiItx/epZNs4rY/Sd iZ7LW/EcG1J9oy96dre2hl1gXDmwzc80Eut4oDjc3hUfV5vagXGymxWm3Bg1Cup/ WCAzfL9dOLnO9+vPbYdzlmbNkaCpjF6qtCIQknBrxldC4A2iBPV8WP4buw2NMJGe KXOtKynmc6ET257pNMHjHPcp1PRjKUOAvIWWJGxRk3XvX+t+m/VZWk/d7Sc3UPrv Jode31WFnFhfuO81shiYNUs9OcRfFPDd6LBefENISx/C9y5/+GIVnt28uUbM1pBh RT1m5KjpaRZHLgtZP8SRA/aDelHySmk6Czx1lrgARtgylg3p3H2DOwB8Wni1dLHY yYLjxubAGzs6/izc9I54 =L3K/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2521145.q4h2r3rchX--
