The Gentoo mac-fdisk is perfect for that. It can generate an Apple =20 bootstrap partition with a special command, and this is 800k in size. =20= Fits perfectly. If there is some interest, I can explain in detail =20 how to setup an Apple harddisc with mac-fdisk for FreeBSD. I think it would help a lot of people if this would be mentioned in =20 the install docs and downloadable from some server. This is much =20 easier than installing the complete source tree and syncing it with =20 cvs, only to get this little image file. > If you could provide a dmesg, and a description of the crash you =20 > mentioned earlier, that would be appreciated as well. Good luck! Thank you, luck is needed. I will make the Xorg tonight and try it =20 tomorrow again. Mit besten Gr=FC=DFen --=20 Joachim Fahrner mailto: joachim@fahrner.name
