https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235060 --- Comment #12 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to consuli074 from comment #11) I (at times) have access to 3 PowerMac G5s, 4 PowerMac G4s, and 1 iMac G3. I sometimes help identify boot problems and fixes for them. I'm familiar enough with what is required to do so with some success. (I've been doing so via my own FreeBSD builds, including self hosted. My PowerMacs do boot, but I do not use CD media in my normal process.) However, you have not pointed out evidence that someone else could follow for your claims. They would have to start from scratch and I'll not attempt that. The mere fact that booting would fail is not a confirmation of your specific claims. There are other possibilities, given your lack of detail. What is the "bit pattern"? Where is it specifically in some specific thing (specific example of the problem)? Sufficient information or someone to inspect for themselves for a specific example? And so on. Is burning from MacOSX really required or do other forms of burning produce the problem? Were you over specific in that detail? Have you ever looked up what the "bit pattern" means on the processor that you have: how would the PPC involved interpret it? (I've assumed here that it is in a area holding machine code that would be executed. But I've no idea how to find it so I'm not sure.) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
