At present I tried to start boot it from CD/DVD and fail with message "AA060011, /No OS image/ was /detected by firmware/. " ISOs I got from http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/FreeBSD-9.0-20100715-SNAP-powerpc64/ and http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/FreeBSD-9.0-20100910-SNAP-powerpc64/ for both of it the error was same - is it normal or I did something wrong? I'll try to give you access to the HMC if you can give me a link to DOCs "how to setup it" or explain it shortly. Gennady.
