Hi all, I just tried installing FreeBSD 10 RC1 powerpc64 on my PowerMac11,2 (2x2.3 GHz). The disc created from the ISO booted fine, and I was able to install FreeBSD onto a UFS filesystem on my second hard drive (I couldn't find an option to install to ZFS), but after a reboot the system boot setting 'boot-device' in nvram had not changed (it booted the previous default OS instead). I fixed the nvram value myself to point at the instealled .elf file and made another attempt at booting. It loads the .elf file, the screen flashes into black and then it exits back to openfirmware. Seems to crash somehow. Does anybody have an idea what to try next to make the install succeed and boot? Best regards, - Erik
