Ok, so now my Mac G5 quad runs FreeBSD 8.2-release:
root at kg-g5# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-g5.kg4.no 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Sat Feb 19
01:18:47 UTC 2011
root at xserve.lan.xcllnt.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  powerpc

However, since this is 32-bits, it only sees 2 GB of the memory:

Is there a way to get a 64-bits version of FreeBSD 8.2 onto this
machine? (I couldn't find a 8.2 powerpc64 image)
