Until just now, I assumed the powerpc64 variant of OpenBSD was little endian, but apparently it is big endian, which would be promising for the G5. I am not too familiar with the details about other potential differences other than that between macppc and powerpc64 unfortunately, but I would be very curious about how feasible OpenBSD/powerpc64 is for G5s as well. > • I have issues trying to install OpenBSD on G5 even in 32-bit version > for some reason.

The machine works perfectly with macOS though. If the installation runs stable, but the installed system does not, it might be because it is using the a multiprocessor kernel, which the installation does not. You can try to boot by entering "boot /bsd.sp" in the boot> prompt to see if that helps, and if it does "cp /bsd.sp /bsd" to make it persistent. Of course you will only be able to use one CPU/core then, but at least it is stable and gives you a starting point to diagnose further issues. Cheers Florian
