Hi,
I would like to use FreeBSD on my Apple G4 iBook, can you tell me if
the ADB keyboard is supported in the latest version available?
I use FreeBSD on both my i386's and servers, so it would make sense to
use it on my laptop instead of OpenBSD.
ADB support was added fairly recently and is only available on
-current and hasn't been MFC'd to -stable. On the G4 you'll probably
want to run the following at the OpenFirmware prompt to make the CPU
run at full speed:
dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0
set-dfs-high
You can find powerpc -current ISO images at
pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200812 on most FreeBSD ftp mirrors - I can't
find any newer images, they don't seem to have been built for powerpc in
February.
Hi Bruce,
First, thanks very much for your help.
I downloaded the a iso of -current from a UK mirror. But when booting
from this, after showing all the devices as it loads it finally displays
the following messages:
WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance
acd0: WARNING - SETFEATURE SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout -
completing request directly
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 try left)
acd0: WARNING - SETFEATURE SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout -
completing request directly
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 try left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
These messages are then repeated endlessly.
Also at the Openfirmware screen, as you suggested I typed:
dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0
then:
set-dfs-high
which the response was: unknown word
Have you any idea what this is all about?
Kind regards,
Liam Sullivan
