Hi,
I'm having trouble getting FreeBSD stable/11 to work on my G5.  After 
upgrading sources from stable/10 and installing rebuilt kernel, it 
either hangs at boot, or crashes with some unexpected exception.

I have also tried several versions of the memstick:
10.1-RELEASE:  - boots ok
10.2-RELEASE:  - crash[1]
10.3-RELEASE:  - boots ok
11.0-RC1:      - crash[2] (or hang)
11.0-RC2:      - hang[1]


--- crash[1] ---

Here's a sample crash from a custom-built kernel:

fatal kernel trap:

    exception       = 0x800 (floating-point unavailable)
    srr0            = 0x380
    srr1            = 0x9000000000001000
    lr              = 0x807068
    curthread       = 0

panic: floating-point unavailable trap
cpuid = 0
