https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235060 --- Comment #23 from Francis Little <oggy@farscape.co.uk> --- (In reply to consuli074 from comment #22) Hi so I have a G5 Quad and today I downloaded the AMD64 iamge and yes, doub= le clicking it, it will not open in the finder, but it shouldn't be opened in = the finder. It should be burned with Disk Utility to create a working bootable CD or DV= D. So on my G5, booted in to OS 10.5.8: Inserted a blank DVD-R. Finder asked if I wanted to open the DVD-R in finder, I selected Ignore. Right-Clicked the FreeBSD 12 AMD64 iso, selected Open With and Disk Utility. Disk Utility opened, I selected the FreeBSD ISO now listed in the left of D= isk Utility, then selcted Burn at the top. The ISO was written to the DVD. Being this is the AMD64 ISO, I removed the DVD-R from the Mac and put it in= a Dell, Intel core i3, and it booted to the FreeBSD installer. The same process also worked for a FreeBSD powerpc64 iso that I installed w= ith the other day. Can I suggest you double check how you are trying to write ISO images to DV= D / CD's?
