Dear ppc64 folks :
I have not tried FreeBSD CURRENT on anything ppc64 in a long while
and was just curious what the state of affairs is like. Last time I did
try running on my old PowerMac Quad G5 there were plenty of itty bitty
little issues and more than a few big ones. Namely SMP is disabled. That
was a show stopper. Another question would be, from your experience,
what is the best hardware to run with? Something POWER8? The amazing
Raptor Talos II wonderful POWER9 machines? Any feedback would be a joy
as I do see ppc is still Tier2 and that fascinates me given how valuable
the IBM POWER world is within industry.
