It does seem more likely to work with -v, but I have seen it not work with -v and once it did work without -v, so now I'm not so sure what's going on. It seems strange that there is a gem driver problem and a cdrom driver problem simultaneously that are giving Frank and I the same issue for running init. On a semi related note, what's the status of the hard drive's ide controller? Is it being worked on? How different is it from other supported controllers on previous powerbooks/ibooks? Is it a lack of hardware thing or just a newness of hardware thing? Just wondering. Thanks for your help so far. On a somewhat less related note, my sparc kernels are booting again after another cvsup, so I have a -current cross build machine now. Has anyone tested cross-building powerpc from FreeBSD/sparc64? I know with NetBSD there are (or were at least) certain random combinations of arches that didn't work real well for cross building. -p On Tue, 3 Feb 2004, Peter Grehan wrote: > Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 22:51:04 +1000 > From: Peter Grehan > To: Frank Nobis > Cc: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Booting a 2nd rev 12" powerbook (1Ghz) > > Hi Frank, > > > I checked the cd image.
