I guess I dual-boot all my machines and copy the file into '/' from the CD when in OSX. And then it's 0 > boot hd:loader hd:xx > Any other suggestions on how to boot FreeBSD on a Mac? For an automatic boot, you have to create a CHRP bootscript (an XML text file) that will reside on the HFS partition.
