If I remember correctly, it some something like we install ourselves into /FreeBSD on the normal MacOSX partition, and we automatically prepend /FreeBSD to any name lookups just like the linuxulater prepends /compat/linux. Or maybe just chroot ourselves into /FreeBSD. But that depends on having HFS in the base system. Which might be a good idea.. Drew
