(x posted to http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=8827, my apologies, but no one seems interested there...)
I am trying to follow the steps to install FreeBSD 8.0 on my MacBook. I don't want to dual boot or anything, so I am following along here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook...15739bad407a8a (Note that earlier I managed to stomp all over the slices trying to partition without reading the directions...) However, it doesn't match my experience exactly, and I don't really have the FreeBSD background to compensate (long time Linux user, and never very hardware focused at all), so here are some starting questions (Note I am in the Fixit shell from the livefs CD): 1. Is "gpart" the same as "gpt"? 2. How can I "lose the GPT"? When I run "# gpart destory ad5" I get "gpart: Device busy". I presume that it is because / is mounted to run the livefs CD. So ... 3. Umm, what do I do now.... If I run "gpart show ad5" I get a bunch of stuff which I would have to type in manually -- let me know which pieces are important and I will do it.
