The ppc64 list is the same as the ppc one, and it's fairly low traffic. That ISO is the right one, with a caveat due to a bug in cdrtools that should be worked around soon, but for now you have to boot it by doing this at the OF prompt: > boot cd:,\BOOT\LOADER;1 cd:0 So I just tried that on my Quad-G5 and got: load-size=67d adler32=67d0001 unrecognized Client Program format I burned the ISO from Disk Utility.app on OSX. Here's the checksum: SHA1(bsdinstall-powerpc64-20110308.iso)= e350edd3a72332a027e4dc71beda4cfd5cf3ec97 Thanks, Jeremy
