I think I'm becoming an expert on installing BSD on macs now . . . I've done it many times :) But, I would like some advice from those who are also doing it: 1) Is there any alternative to 4-fingering the boot? Also, why not wipe all partitions and boot from TFTP to get the loader? Would that work? i.e. boot enet:,loader -- and then let loader somehow find the kernel / filesystems on the disk? 2) If you don't care about OS X, is there any alternative way to partition the disk? My powermac does not have a DVD drive in it, so I have to plug in a PC drive to boot off of my OS X dvd. I'd prefer to repartition more natively -- even if it means getting the loader via TFTP. Let me know what you think! -Dave
