            Bug ID: 217375
           Summary: installer: powerpc kernel reboots before reaching
                    installer (ibook key lime se)
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: powerpc
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org

This concerns
FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-powerpc-disc1.iso

I'm trying to boot it on an iBook Key Lime SE; one of the colorful ones but not
the earliest variety. It has 1 USB and 1 Firewire ports. CPU is a PPC750. If
you need any more info, please tell me how to find it. :) HARDWARE.HTM on the
disk itself says it boots on this machine: "All Apple PowerPC machines with
built-in USB are supported".

The bootloader appears to work. The kernel starts, I believe; switching the
display to white on black and using a larger font. Messages scroll too fast to
read on the old flat screen for a few seconds, and then the screen suddenly
goes black. Before long, Apple's boot chime is heard. That's all.

This is with the iso on CD-R in the iBook's internal drive. It's not the
original drive and is in fact the wrong model, but other live CDs work: Mac OS
9 and a couple of Linux live CDs.
