I have four of these units laying around wherein one of them is a workable unit with the so-called "quad" PPC64 config. Not much runs on them these days and that includes Debian Linux wherein the installer is slightly broken. Slightly. There just is not much in the way of resources alive and workingout there that cares to debug the multitude of issues we face with this architecture. So I have to ask you, what did you use to install FreeBSD on this unit? I have not seen a workable installer in at least a year. -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken GreyBeard and suspenders optional
