Morning All,
I have been an avid apple mac user for a couple of years and have

decided to give FreeBSD a whirl on my PowerBook G4.  So went ahead and

downloaded the latest FreeBSD7 release for PPC and have attempted to

install it.

Any ideas guys ?
thanks
Dan

Hi,
I think what you're seeing is described in PR power/93203.
There are  instructions on how to install FreeBSD on PowerPC out

there, but I can't find them right now.
For PowerPC-specific questions ppc@freebsd.org is a good place to ask.
HTH,
Philip
