By the way: the only reason I can get ofwdump -ap output
on the PowerMac G5's that I've access to is because of the
extra patches that I run. On a normal FreeBSD build it
crashes in open firmware.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237590
is about the crashes and what caused the problem.
A more direct way to get the crash than ofwdump -ap
is:
ofwdump -Plog /packages/obp-tftp
ofwdump usage that avoids that area should work as I
remember.
