OpenFirmware says my PowerPC,G5@0 is cpu-version 0039020 which according to the Internet is a I did need to dev /cpus/PowerPC,G5 then ".properties" to get the cpu-version, but thank you for the pointer. > I had a look at > http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/macppc/macppc/cpu.c?rev=1.67 > and see only 970FX processors mentioned. As I understand 970 != 970FX. My G5 > have 970, as OpenFirmware shows. M.B. problem is hiding in it? Based on some old netbsd supported model lists I believe you are correct that 970 != 970FX. Looking up the serial number on Apple's website http://support.apple.com/specs/ it claims I have a "Power Mac G5 (June 2004)" version http://support.apple.com/kb/SP80 which is supposed to have the 970FX http://www.apple-history.com/g5_june_04 But unfortunately it seems that is not the case because my 0039020 is a 970 not a 970FX http://everythingapple.blogspot.com/2004/11/130-nm-g5-is-alive-and-well.html l8rZ, -- andrew - http://afresh1.com Computer programmers know how to use their hardware.
