I installed FreeBSD/powerpc64 head r313561 (snapshot of 20170210) and there is something wrong with its bootloader. I tried to net boot the installer. The configuration of isc-dhcp is: host powerpc { hardware ethernet xxx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; fixed address 192.168.0.15; next-server 192.168.0.10; filename "loader"; option root-path "192.168.0.10:/exports/FreeBSD/ppc64/12c-20170210"; } tftp configuration in inetd.conf is: tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/local/libexec/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /exports/FreeBSD/ppc64/12c-20170210/boot and 192.168.0.10:/exports/FreeBSD/ppc64/12c-20170210 is NFS mountable with full system copied from disc1.iso. I tried to boot from openfirmware console > boot eboot:,loader the file loader is retrieved via tftp and executed, but it says it cannot find the file 'kernel'. I replaced /boot/loader with the loader of 11.0-RELEASE. It successfully booted /boot/kernel/kernel, and I managed to install.
