I've tried the options with the root and boot partitions. Loading with hd:2 sends me to a commands option. The shell on the install cd only allow me to run cd and install. Which server will have the live image-iso for powerpc? I see the kernel in /boot/kernel but it doesn't load. Would it be better to download the bootfile and write it to the partition u= sing a live cd? --- On Thu, 4/15/10, Justin Hibbits wrote: From: Justin Hibbits Subject: Re: Powermac B&W G3 install status and questions To: "Super Biscuit" Cc: "Richard DeLaurell" , freebsd-ppc@freebsd.= org Date: Thursday, April 15, 2010, 5:39 PM On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 1:21 PM, Super Biscuit wr= ote: The suggestion didn't work; but, thanks for replying. boot hd:3,\\:tbxi DISK-LABEL: LOAD (noninterposed) not supportedload-size= =3D0 adler32=3D1 LOAD-SIZE is too small ok 0 > --- On Thu, 4/15/10, Richard DeLaurell wrote: From: Richard DeLaurell Subject: Re: Powermac B&W G3 install status and questions To: "Super Biscuit" Cc: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Date: Thursday, April 15, 2010, 5:00 PM I am working from memory here, but I believe your boot command should look = something like this: boot hd:#,\\:tbxi # is (I believe) the disk partition you're booting from; that should be the= location of your tbxi file.

I am sorry if this is not helpful. Good luck-- Richard DeLaurell On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 8:48 AM, Super Biscuit wr= ote: 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 thro= ugh a Linux dmesg output. You may need to boot through the CD. =A0I don't know if the 8.0 installer i= nstalls a bootstrap partition, so try something like: boot cd:,\boot\loader hd:3 This will use the boot CD's loader, and boot to hd:3 (/dev/ad0s3) as the ro= ot.
