Ok, so now my Mac G5 quad runs FreeBSD 8.2-release: root@kg-g5# uname -a FreeBSD kg-g5.kg4.no 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Sat Feb 19 01:18:47 UTC 2011 root@xserve.lan.xcllnt.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC powerpc However, since this is 32-bits, it only sees 2 GB of the memory: root@kg-g5# dmesg | head -19 Copyright (c) 1992-2011 The FreeBSD Project.
