Hi Matteo, >> It worked fine on a revA iMac.

Once upon a time it would just fail the USB probe rather than hang. I'll investigate further. > While I'm here, i would like to ask you a few questions: > can you predict a time for having FreeBSD ppc -RELEASE ISOs ? Looks like 'make release' is now working so I'll see if I can crank some ISOs out. > what are the show stopper defects that prevent FreeBSD-ppc from becoming > a Tier-1 Platform? Missing GDB. Documentation. No X. And as you're about to bring up: > Is syscons(4) support really far-far away You mean notebook keyboard/mousepad support ? (syscons is there today for USB keyboards). It's not that difficult, but it's been hard to find time to do it. And the situation won't improve in the next couple of months since I'm taking a break. So, unless it gets picked up by someone else, you'll have to wait 'til November at a minimum :-( later, Peter.
