Can you get to a Open Firmware prompt? The boot loader is in \boot\loader on the CD. Otherwise, I can send you a test image. -Nathan On 11/08/15 14:06, Pascal Drecker wrote: > Hi, > > I like to install FreeBSD on an IBM Virtual I/O Server (VIOS). > > The current VIOS version (v2.2.3.50 - Standard Edition) is installed > and VIOS is running on an IBM Power 720 Express (Model 8202-E4D). > > The following operating systems are successfully installed using the > dvd-ram > drive: > > * IBM i V7R2 > * AIX 7.1 > * Ubuntu 14.04 > * Ubuntu 15.10 > > Every-time I try to boot FreeBSD from the dvd-ram I got the following > message: > > .----------------------------------. > | No Operating Systems Installed | > `----------------------------------' > > I tested the following images: > > * FreeBSD-9.3-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso > * FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso > * FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso > * FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-powerpc-powerpc64-20151023-r289846-bootonly.iso > > The IBM Power 720 Express has an Power7+.
