Hi folks,

Sorry for the awfully naive question, but I've tried on several 
occasions to build world using the instructions here:
   https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html

They work fine on amd64, but on powerpc I'm always left with an 
unbootable system.  It looks like it can't load or boot the kernel. 
I've not customised anything; I've been trying to build 10.x-stable.

My previous experience was on Debian which required running yaboot to 
update the Open Firmware bootloader configuration.  Are there any 
additional steps required on FreeBSD/powerpc which aren't in the generic 
instructions?


Thanks all,
Roger
