I just tried to book the 8.1-RC1 disc1 ISO on an iBook G4 but it failed = to boot into FreeBSD. I was left at the Open Firmware prompt. Is = FreeBSD known not to work on an iBook G4? I was able to boot = successfully into the FreeBSD installer using this same disc on a = PowerBook G4. This is the output I get booting from the CD by holding down "C" during = power on (this is typing the output by hand, so errors are possible:): Consoles: Open Firmware console FreeBSD/powerpc Open Firmware loader, Revision 0.1 (root@xserve.lan.xcllnt.net, Mon Jun 14 22:46:01 UTC 2010) Memory: 1310720KB Booted from: /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-3@20000/disk@0 Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel data=3D0x72c6b8+0x3e280 = syms=3D[0x4+0x5ac60+0x4+0x7d924] - Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
