Not spam: serious inquiry. ISO release 500+MB 05052013 boot problem on qemu

[Super Bisquit]

Thanks everyone.
Sorry.
If I can get a bootable 10 image, then I should be able to install ports by
importing software.
FreeBSD runs great on the older PowerMacs and can build with 400MHz and
384M RAM without choking. I had trouble setting up NetBSD. Linux needs
500MHz or better, 512M RAM, and the kernel has to be recompiled. I did
OpenBSD but you need the same system requirements as Linux to compile.
If I need Linux Compat then I'll see about using NetBSD as an additional
machine.

Again, this is for an audio project for a friend.
