Sure, seems like you are trying to load the default DVD drive...when connecting something new you need to check the proper OpenFirmware alias...so when you pop into OF -- type "devalias" scroll down and see where the external drive corresponds with the actual location...and exchange the "cd" for the "value delineated for external drive in OF" -- hope that helps...

Hi, I dowloaded and burned 7.0-20051105-SNAP-powerpc-disc1.iso and tried an install on a PowerBook G4 667. I use an external DVD drive connected via firewire. FreeBSD is to be installed on a 5 GB partition on an external firewire disk, with another available partition for swap on the same disk. I have an external USB keyboard + mouse. With the FreeBSD DVD in the external drive, I booted into open firmware and typed : boot cd:,\boot\loader cd:0 I get : can't OPEN: cd:,\boot\loader Any idea what is going wrong ? Thanks guys, Edward
