Hi,

I tried BETA4 on a G4-450 with 256M RAM, I got my hands on for a short
while. It a M5183 Model if that can of any help.

It panics after loading the kernel with:
==============================================================
fatal kernel trap:

  exception       = 0x4 (instruction storage interrupt)
  virtual address = 0x3d66a0
  srr0            = 0x3d66a0
  srr1            = 0x8003032
  curthread       = 0x46bc98
    pid = 0, comm =

[thread pid 0 tid 0 ]
Stopped at   0x3d66a0:  isync
db>
==============================================================
There isn't any other info on the screen and the usb keyboard is dead,
so I can't get any extra info from that.

I also tried 6.0-20050518-SNAP-powerpc-disc1.iso on the same machine.
It boots and I get to the sysinstall part. I don't have any experiance with
how a mac wants its harddisk so I haven't installed it FreeBSD on it (yet).

As long as I have this mac on my desk I can test things for you.
