Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I understand.
I look forward to anything that can make the ppc64 installation as “automatic”
as possible. Please let me know what I can do as a tester to help that process…
To summarize, there are two currently “non-automatic” steps that I know of:
1) The guided partitioning needs to automatically create the bootstrap
(HFS+) partition and the /boot (ext2) partition.
2) The Ports FTP servers need to be shown as available (and, if possible,
recommended when doing a Ports install)
Stay well!
