Yes, please, it it's not too much trouble I'd love a -CURRENT ppc iso. My previous attempts were all made with a video console. I've tried booting with 'C' at power up as well as issuing 'boot cd:,\boot\loader cd:0' from the openfirmware prompt. Results are the same either way. I finally yanked it from our data center last night and brought it to the office where I can fiddle with it in comfort; I should be able to provide you with a full boot transcript sometime later today. -jacob On Nov 4, 2009, at 6:18 PM, Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@freebsd.org> wrote: > I'm not sure what's going on with the release CDs -- you should get > farther than that.
