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.

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.
