hi, I hope this is the correct mailing list for this question. I am a newbie. I want to install FreeBSD 9.0 to an i-mac g3/g4 which doesn't have a working cd drive. I want to use a usb stick to do this. My question is what relevant doc explains how to do this? I searched google and could not find an answer that worked, even for NetBSD. I tried issuing a dd command to cp the powerpc memstick image to usb, but I can't figure out how to get openfirmware to boot the usb. It is openfirmware version 3. I welcome any help and/or suggestions. Thanks,
