Unplugged the Apple Cinema Display hub and it’s working ok with the Apple Keyboard/Mouse.

Got registered and joined the #freebsd IRC channel but didn’t see you there.

I did get 12.0-RC3 to install ok and run ok. SMP wasn’t enabled after reboot. Is there a way to re-enable it?

uname -a reports powperpc not powerpc64 even though I downloaded powerpc64. Is there a way to check if it’s running in 32 bit mode or 64 bit mode?

pkg installed but failed because of a libssl.so.8 missing error. Seems as though libssl.so.111 is now there. pkg-static worked.

Will freebsd-update work?

Thanks for all your help.

Tom
