The system isn't hung because > CTRL-C will bring me back to sysinstall. There isn't any fan control at present (although this should be committed soon), so the fan doesn't have anything to do with it. It sounds like you found a gpart bug, so maybe Marcel has some ideas. One thing you could try is to remove the previous partition map with gpart destroy and than make a new one with gpart create. > I currently have Mac OS X 10.5 on this system, and would like to > replace it with FreeBSD/powerpc64. Has anyone done this successfully, or > have any hints about what I may be missing? It worked fine for me, but I was using a fresh disk. Removing the existing partition map, or trying with a fresh SATA disk, might help. > Oh, and is it possible to change the OpenFirmware serial console > speed to something lower than 57600?

You can change it in FreeBSD, of course, but that doesn't affect OF. -Nathan From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Sep 25 22:03:00 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 73753106566B for ; Sat, 25 Sep 2010 22:03:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from superbisquit@gmail.com) Received: from mail-qw0-f54.google.com (mail-qw0-f54.google.com [209.85.216.54]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2DC9A8FC14 for ; Sat, 25 Sep 2010 22:02:56 +0000 (UTC) Received: by qwd6 with SMTP id 6so2376033qwd.13 for ; Sat, 25 Sep 2010 15:02:56 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:received:date:message-id :subject:from:to:content-type; bh=ALPQUvdZpLG8NtUPwXiv8nWZMONaCAvrWUcLe11lLus=; b=nwAt0yiDSq6GBy9X1WErLJ9ADJ+AJhfa5dDiglZ8nWMtx2Z6smgfvfuXhr+ndRkADg FubipW74vnDONPvdcYbSkysdB7AJizaovAhSYGlghNdRzl7glzIbkZHjBaexWZwM9MUi byAQSoc/PVV0p51PdTZCWb1m5InRbnLoOJ7eE= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:date:message-id:subject:from:to:content-type; b=U+ADQydaNU+GOIroDGcRlersWDMMCdIyO4qE4qVJ1RVbWEspJq5oXPLeSbt8O+NWTT CnGtfkPJqMca5ThwZggNXwqHm4ODNFYnL/yp0PE/Z8ccIOU8BzOU9661q6jb6zv1HlDp D+1JohfYpbJsJDA/te87GdJh60X2NRcaiVr4I= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.220.56.8 with SMTP id w8mr1610531vcg.216.1285450380901; Sat, 25 Sep 2010 14:33:00 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.220.201.201 with HTTP; Sat, 25 Sep 2010 14:33:00 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:33:00 -0400 Message-ID: From: Super Bisquit To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Subject: Trouble booting from hard drives on Powermac Quicksilver 933MHz G4 X-BeenThere: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 22:03:00 -0000 I picked up a G4 and decided to hose Mac OSX from it.
