    so Raptor gave me access to a Talos II to do some work on FreeBSD/ppc64le. first thing i noticed: the boot process is *very* unusual. it doesn't use the FreeBSD loader at all; instead it has a Linux-based firmware loader called Petitboot which can load and kexec() the FreeBSD kernel directly. however it needs a rather odd partition layout to do that:# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#/dev/nda0p2 / ufs rw 1 1/dev/nda0p1 /boot msdosfs rw 2 2i assume this is because Petitboot can't read FreeBSD UFS, so we need the kernel (which is in /boot/kernel) to be on FAT. Raptor suggested we should make the loader kexec()able instead, which seems like a good idea, but from what i can tell this platform doesn't use OpenFirmware at all, and i'm not even sure we have a PowerNV-native loader.(as you can tell, i know very little about either POWER or FreeBSD/powerpc, so this is going to be an interesting learning experience.)#FreeBSD

    Goodbye to Pop!OS and cosmic desktop, at least for now. Tonight I installed #Freebsd 14.3 on my first generation core-i series Dell laptop. The Intel Centrino wireless is supported, which is great news. Hopefully I'll figure out what steps I'm missing to get it to connect.Modules are loaded, rc.conf edited, the interface is up / shows up with ifconfig, but it doesn't scan. It looks like the regulatory domain was set automatically during setup. So I'm not sure what I'm missing.I don't think I've every used a BSD with wifi, so it's a new challenge. Everything is a bit different than I'm used to. At least my old habit of typing ifconfig actually works, unlike on Linux these days.
