^^ from the powerpc directory.

Something tells me there isn't a livefs iso there.

Also dependant on LiveFS. Instructions are x86-specific too.


... There are _no_ Linux LiveCDs I can use which support UFS2, in fact
few Linux CDs even boot to completion on my mac, the only ones thus far
to have done so are the debian net installer disc and the Finnix liveCD.

FreeSBIE apparently was to have a -ppc version, but that's vapourware. 

I can't mount my / from within disklabel in sysinstall (from install
disc1) because it's horribly broken. 

Nothing I'd expect to be able to do to recover a broken BSD box is
working. 

Anyone have some sane ideas? 

( google need not apply, i've googled this to death, and ##freeBSD on
freenode were being generally useless with well-directed inquiries,
methinks they were all asleep :( )

Thanks,
