You can use a 9.0-SNAP image I made in November to get a bootable CD: http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/9.0-20091112-SNAP/9.0-20091112-SNAP-powerpc-disc1.iso Also, -CURRENT now has some updates to smu(4) that prevent the fans in SMU-based machines from running at maximum all the time, which should be MFCed shortly and will be in 8.1. Once those are MFCed in the next week or two, I will make an 8.0-STABLE CD with those updates. -Nathan
