ADB support was added fairly recently and is only available on -current and hasn't been MFC'd to -stable. On the G4 you'll probably want to run the following at the OpenFirmware prompt to make the CPU run at full speed: dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0 set-dfs-high You can find powerpc -current ISO images at pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200812 on most FreeBSD ftp mirrors - I can't find any newer images, they don't seem to have been built for powerpc in February. -- Bruce Cran
