Hi, I installed BETA-3 powerpc32 on G4 and powerpc64 on G5 XServe. During the installation there were two minor issues: - XServe G4, powerpc32: After a few seconds fetching base.txz, a warning showed up in console that max nmbclusters were reached. I manually raised kern.ipc.nmbclusters from 768 to 1024 and restarted the installation. On amd64 9.2-RELEASE nmbclusters are set to 25600 BTW. - XServe G5, powerpc64: After fetching distfiles checksum for base.tgz did not match. I extracted the distfiles manually in another console. So finally I got all these things installed, but just let you know in preperation for release. This was my first contact outside the FreeBSD i386/amd64 domain for more than 15 years. I was rather surprised that the installation process worked so well for non mainstream hardware. Cheers Michael
