I think to really solve this problem, you have to shut off translation, loa= d the BATs and then re-enable translation.=A0 =A0 When I patched in a segme= nt of code to do just that, the kernel booted and the installer started up.= =20 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" I know that I have mentioned this before and was ignored; so, I will mentio= n it again. Have you tried using the 9.0 SNAPSHOT to see if it would work? None of the others worked for me except that one. I have to put the link at the mail header because of yahoo's reply format. =0A=0A=0A
