Here's a matched set of them, running fairly updated firmware:<br>
<br>
<br>
7044-170, sh040616/SPH04194 with 768M memory:<br>
http://pastebin.com/raw/SCZTvx7R<br>
Boots kernel but can't get serial console.&nbsp; Is less picky about CD media.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
7044-270, sh040616/SPH04194 with 15.25G memory:<br>
pastebin.com/raw/2w0KrP8A<br>
Hangs at bootloader, but no timeout error.&nbsp; Is more picky about CD media.<br>

&gt;     In the 7.0.1 release notes I see "IBM 7044 Model 270" mentioned<br>
&gt; as a supported OpenFirmware-based system.  How different from this<br>
&gt; is the 7044 Model 170?<br>
<br>
The Model 170 is single-CPU and allows less memory, but otherwise they are<br>
quite similar. From reading the ofppc source I would say there is a high<br>
probability that both models are supported.<br>
<br>
<br>
&gt; Has anyone tried NetBSD with either of these computers in recent years?<br>
<br>
I doubt that. So your report would be quite valuable. Please tell us about<br>
your experiences with it.<br>

I'm running 7.0 on my Pegasos II, which is the only ofppc platform I have.<br>
