I was recently gifted an IBM 9407-515 which now lives in my homelab.=C2=A0=
=C2=A0It appears to be a slightly newer version of this machine:=C2=A0=C2=
=A0https://wiki.freebsd.org/powerpc/IBM9133
I am trying to install and run FreeBSD 13.0-Release on it.=C2=A0 I have lea=
rned that it will not boot from the SCSI DVD drive.=C2=A0 I have setup a BO=
OTP/TFTP/NFS server for netbooting following the instructions I found here:=
=C2=A0=C2=A0https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/advanced-networking/=

It appears to launch loader and the twiddle spins briefly before it stops a=
nd nothing more happens.=C2=A0 The HMC reports the status as Running with a=
 Reference Code of=C2=A0CA00E105 which means "Transfer control to the opera=
ting system (normal boot)".
