Description Bas van de Wiel 2008-03-05 12:10:00 UTC 
Install CD won't boot at all. The kernel appears to be loading, then the screen simply blanks. Fans slowly spin up to full speed, which implies a complete system freeze. This is on a PowerMac G5 dual 2GHz.

How-To-Repeat: Simply boot from the 7.0 ppc install CD (disc 1)

FreeBSD has not yet been ported to the G5, so what you're seeing is expected.

HTH,
