I'm pushing this question a second time. The last usb-key that I tried using to dd the image was effectively destroyed. The DVD-ROM drive is basically shot on the Powerbook Titanium. I'd like to know if anyone has used the memstick image to install FreeBSD to a PowerpC32 machine and what was done to the usb device with the dd command. The process will also need to be started in qemu with the -nographic option. Using gpart did not allow me to create more than four or five partitions: <- Has this been fixed &/or what is the work around? The 9.1-RELEASE images in the snapshot directories are crashing in qemu with kernel entry at 0x1000e0. This also occurs on the real machine.
