Hello,
I am attempting to install freebsd-9.0 on a PowerMac dual processor G5
(970). I burned the "bootonly" image to a CD and booted it from open
firmware using:
boot cd:,\ppc\loader cd:0
The cd does not boot. The last messages are:
(cd0:ata0:0:0:0): cddone: got error back
iichb0: I2C error
Then the fan accelerates until I turn off the machine.
If anyone can offer suggestions they will be most welcome.
Thanks,
Roger
