I made it so there was a blank space to partition 100GB. In = the installer I clicked make slice on that empty space, used the auto = partition sequence, then clicked all for files to install. After this = happened I got the error message "Unable to find device node for /dev/.. = in dev!". When I got back to my regular startup drive and looked at the = apple TV drive(connected by a IDE to USB by the way) all other = partitions were gone, and just a 100GB blank looking partition was left. = I did the terminal command gpt -r show on the disk, and it still had the = framework of all it's original partitions, but nothing in the 100GB left = blank. After repeated attempts to install, even with trying the command = to erase the entire drive and install freeBSD over it, it always gave me = the same response. Then I decided to make a 100GB partition in my intel = macbook pro to see if a freeBSD install there would work. It did now = work either, which leads me to my current and main problem. Now my = laptop does not start, I put in the install disk which shows that there = is no macintosh HD like it showed there was no other drives on the apple = tv disk. I have read online now that maybe I needed to add 35 blocks on = either side to not return with that response, but that doesn't answer = where my drive went and I don't quite understand how to do that. When I = go back to the installer, it shows that all partitions are there, except = the 165(i think) partition for freeBSD that is the only one which shows = up on disk utility partitioner.=
