FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso burned to a CD and used to boot a PowerMac G5 hangs at the repeating -, \, |, / sequence (after displaying "loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf"), stopping with / I think it was. So it is unclear if it might be the first / from /boot/kernel/kernel. The fans spin up after a while. This is not new. Nathan Whitehorn reproduced the problem back in late July with a 10.0-STABLE vintage and wrote: > Interesting. It seems loader is broken. I just tried with a 10.0-STABLE image and can reproduce the problem -- 11 oddly is OK. What really perplexes me is that the powerpc and powerpc64 loaders are identical, since loader is built 32-bit in either case. Super weird. [...] > -Nathan === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.nethelp
