Answer 1

You need to tell us more information. Is this PowerPC? And how was msg defined? If it's an address of a string, then try loading it into a register. It's probably not an immediate constant, though, so you don't want an instruction that ends with i. I think the first thing you have is closest, but I really don't have enough info.

Answer 2
