Hi Soeren, >> Yep, it's not supported. I used an Intel fxp in one of the PCI slots: >>works fine. > > Would any PC PCI nic work? That is supported by FreeBSD i386. Not necessarily, since they may not have had the required changes to support big-endian. Any PCI NIC that works on sparc64 will work on ppc. > Hmm after a short look at those files, it looks like they haven't been > changed between 200608 and 200610. > Where does the boot sector for the iso live? On Macs there isn't really a boot sector. CDs are created in hybrid HFS/ISO9660 format to allow the 'C' autoboot, but you can manually boot a stock iso9660 disk from the ofw prompt. > Has the way the install cds are created changed? Shouldn't have, though Marcel built the last two snapshots. I successfully 'C'-booted the most recent one on a powerbook though I haven't tried on any other systems. later, Peter.
