Background:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
I have installed FreeBSD/powerpc 12.2-RELEASE on a PowerMac G4.  I initially=
 had FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE installed, but that kept randomly rebooting.

I switched to NetBSD/macppc and that worked just fine.=20

With 12.2 released I decided to try again with FreeBSD. =20

The installation went fine.  =46rom the OF boot prompt, I am able to boot us=
ing:

         boot hd:2,\ppc\boot1.elf

FBSD will boot up, I can login and use the system as normal.   If I set =E2=80=
=98auto-boot?=E2=80=99 to true,  I am unable to boot into FBSD.  =20

I have boot-device set to =E2=80=9Chd:2,\ppc\boot1.elf=E2=80=9D

Is there anything else I need to setup?   When I had 12.0 installed it would=
 boot as expected.=20
