This would be if you placed the tbxi file in the base directory on the #th partition of your 1st hard drive. As I say, this is from memory since my G3 died quite a while ago. I am sorry if this is not helpful. Good luck-- Richard DeLaurell On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 8:48 AM, Super Biscuit wrote: I've been able to install 8.0 powerpc to a G3 with 384M RAM. Apologies beforehand, there are a few questions. What is the open firmware command for booting? Mac-boot repeats a bad partition error. Should I have created a /boot partition? Currently, only a base system is installed. Will it be better to use an older release? If you need the system stats, I can post them. It will have to be done through a Linux dmesg output. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
