Good afternoon, I'd like to begin by saying that while I do have a bunch of x86 systems, I'd also like to make (limited) use of powerpc hardware -- mainly a Powerbook G4, an XServe G5 and a XServe G4 (it'll be the 'garage mac'). OSX support died with 10.5. A bunch of Linux distros totally dropped building for ppc/32. I'm starting to really get attached to running FreeBSD and would like to install it on my powerpc equipment. I attempted to load the LiveCD in my powerbook, and maybe 2 seconds into bootup (with tty output on screen) the entire system abruptly shuts off. Any hints? Britt
