With FreeBSD-9.0-BETA1-powerpc64-bootonly.iso (MD5: 5acab3ab0388b0556209e41fb31dfbba) I got a panic early: http://www.catacombae.org/personal/fbsd9ppc_20110905_beta1panic.jpg With FreeBSD-9.0-BETA2-powerpc64-bootonly.iso (MD5: ed0ac1edfcfe71596f7409339cfabc9f) the boot progressed further, but I got a kernel panic when the system thought that the CPU were too hot (I can assure you that they aren't running at 1024 degrees centigrade ;)): http://www.catacombae.org/personal/fbsd9ppc_20110905_beta2panic.jpg The BETA2 kernel panic seems to be the result of some temperature sensor driver that is failing. (The BETA2 release isn't even official yet, is it? I got it off some FreeBSD ftp mirror.) So... if there's anything I can do to ensure that the final release of FreeBSD 9 boots successfully on my hardware, I'll be happy to help. Regards, - Erik
