I'm afraid that it sounds like PowerMac G5's hang the same way/place = whenever I've tried a fairly modern PowerPC64 10.0-STABLE .iso burned to = a CD. I was able to boot 10.0-RELEASE's .iso burned to a CD. I've not = tried emulation. Having an initial FreeBSD running I tend to use the MANIFEST and .txz = files with "bsdinstall auto" to make new from-scratch (not = buildworld/buildkernel) installations when I want such. My notes on the G5 boot issue for the .iso's burned to CD's were = reported in: (I'm not near the PowerMacs, unfortunately) FreeBSD 10-STABLE powerpc64 r266807 CD PowerMac7, 2 (and 7, 11) boot = hangs very early in the process Has anyone booted a G5 PowerMac from a recent 10.0-STABLE .iso burned to = CD? A multi-processor one? =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net
