Hello,
I have an iMac G3 (400MHz 512MB ram, DV slot-loading, 1999). It runs OSX fine and I would like to install freebsd 7.2.
The iMac can boot on the installation disc. I see the OF orange screen, it says that it wants to load "boot/kernel/kernel" and that I have to hit Enter (or wait a bit).
Then the black console displays a few commands, but then it instantly reboots. It barely lets me time to read the error message, but it says :
A picture (taken with a camera) of the screen right before the reboot is attached.
The HD is hfs/apple formatted, but that shouldn't be a problem since I'd like to completely erase it and install freebsd on it. I tried to remove it from the iMac on put an USB flash key (just to see what happens) but with the same result.
In the OF orange screen, the "lsdev" command always returns an empty list.
Any hints ?
