[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi List, First of all thanks for porting FreeBSD to powerpc, it runs great on my iBook over here and now I can even use my adb keyboard. Thanks! When installing I created an !Apple_HFS partition which I formatted and labeled Boot with hfsutils from ports yesterday so I can copy the loader there and don't have to boot from cd each time. This works great without auto boot; boot hd:loader hd:4 works like a charm. When I had OpenBSD on this laptop I remember I could just set boot-device to be able to autoboot but when I try this it seems the kernel is loading (I can hear it accessing drives/cdrom and the host starts pinging after a while) but there's no video output except for the basic moire x like background from openfirmware. The laptop also doesn't boot all the way when I use this, even after waiting quite some time there was no sshd listening so I rebooted it and booted it manually which works fine. NetBSD also has this issue if I'm correct, can someone explain to me why this is happening? Thanks, Kind regards, Axel Scheepers [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkqMKnoACgkQvOFCXiGjP+BgtACguix8Y/9Mxh8cdEGfUd0CHpJQ BaYAoMtjt+dCyiZZ0jqgqCk7/OnZHZDU =bQ60 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
