Hi Nathan, > You can find it at http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/=20 > boot1.hfs.bz2. It's 800K after decompression, and should be dd'ed =20 > onto a free partition somewhere on your disk, of type =20 > Apple_Bootstrap or Apple_HFS. Thank you very much!!! That works great. Saves me a lot of headache. :-) > You should be able to use the gpart utility in FreeBSD to add one =20 > (pass the type as !Apple_Bootstrap), or use the Gentoo mac-fdisk =20 > utility. 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
