I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a single boot system. I have Mac Pro that runs Mac OS on on disk (actually a pair in a software RAID) and FreeBSD from another pair (gmirror RAID). I suspect that I could pull the MacOS disks from the system and it would happily run as a FreeBSD only machine. I believe that I set up the disks using the mac tools and then did an install from a DVD, but it's been a while. The only particularly trick-ish part is that I had to partition the FreeBSD disks using MBR style partitions, that's (part of?) what the Mac firmware uses to decide to turn on it's PC-style BIOS emulation, which FreeBSD needs before it can get itself going. GPT partitions will not work. Every once in a while the machine hangs at boot time but I haven't seen it in a while. What happens if you just throw a FreeBSD DVD in the drive? g. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
