I think so. er ... nope. drat. I fetched and burned FreeBSD-12.0-RC1-powerpc-powerpc64-dvd1.iso from https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/ and well gee I did not boot it live and check what it had to say. I could give that a shot. Also in the install phase I didn't drop to a shell and run this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada bs=8192 count=1048576 That is overkill but it writes zeros to the first 16M sectors of the disk. I had done that in the past to move from Debian Linux over to FreeBSD merely to be super sure that there wasn't anything nasty hiding on some cyl0 area or some other silly bits. I'll boot the dbd live and see what it says. Yeah ... somehow managed to do an install and NOT do an install. root@eris:~ # uname -a FreeBSD eris 12.0-RC1 FreeBSD 12.0-RC1 r340470 GENERIC powerpc That looks better. >> eris# pkg query %t\ %n\ %v\ %o | sort -r >> 1542444839 dialog4ports 0.1.6 ports-mgmt/dialog4ports >> 1542444137 pkg 1.10.5_5 ports-mgmt/pkg >> eris# >> >> I still am not sure where we stand on the whole kern.smp.disabled issue >> but that is another matter. > As I reported earlier: > Disabling SMP with head gives a system behaving nicely.

I know that in the Apache world I build from trunk just fine as they like to say "trunk" whereas here in FreeBSD land the word seems to be "head". Wherefore is this wonderful fountain of code? :-) I am more than happy ( delighted in fact ) to fetch sources and build and test and figure out bits needed. Certainly on not_x86. > 1.

I think that perhaps ppc64 could and even should be up in tier-1 given that state of IBM servers these days but some effort and support is merely needed. Dennis
