I should run current and it has the SMP problem fixed. 2. It can be dual booted between OSX and FreeBSD? a. The handbook only mentions that it can be run as a guest OS. b. Is there a short list to run both OS's I've done this with windows many times over the years but I have on idea where to start with Mac. Example: Clean the disk and start with FBSD or somehow compress the MacOSX file system and use the rest for BSD, etc. etc. 3. I should probably run the AMD64 version of Current? Thanks for any input and suggestions even a "Don't do it for certain reasons". This is totally uncharted territory for me.

Don't install an MBR boot manager. * Sync your MBR with the GPT by using the refit tool (available in the refit boot menu). It's tricky, but easy. > 3. I should probably run the AMD64 version of Current? Yes, newer MacBooks have EM64T extensions (i.e. amd64), so you should use FreeBSD/amd64. > Thanks for any input and suggestions even a "Don't do it for certain > reasons".
