It gets past open firmware without problem. It enters the normal boot process for FreeBSD. It starts loading drivers, and it fails on loading bmac. It says that it is failing to initialize the hardware. Then, the machine freezes. Do you know what piece of hardware bmac is initing, and can you imagine what the problem might be? Has anyone else encountered this? -Jason
