Hi Soeren, > I have put up the dmesg from my boot attemp: > http://people.freebsd.org/~xride/dmesg.g3bnw-20061025.txt > But i can't install sysinstall doesn't see ad0. The CMD 646U2 is a notoriously bad ATA controller :) I think if you break into the loader and disable ATA DMA: set hw.ata.ata_dma=0 And probably disable it for atapi as well: set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 > All the onboard nic is not found. Yep, it's not supported. I used an Intel fxp in one of the PCI slots: works fine. The on-board NIC is a non-PCI Apple custom: the BMAC chip, which uses the DMA controller in the macio chip. > Where can i still digging in the src tree? i'm trying to learn more. The mac stuff is in the sys/powerpc/powermac directory. The files that apply to the B&W are grackle* and hrowpic* later, Peter.
