Did you have to work around the problem with >disks not being found ? Just in case my earlier message was confusing, note that it was only the CD/DVD drive that the installer could not find, or at least it could not recognize. It had no problem finding the hard disk. I wrote up most of the tricks I had to use in a separate message, with the subject of "Mac mini and FreeBSD - some initial details"... It's possible that I will reformat the disk and redo all of these installs, so I could try to write up more details if it's needed. Oh, one more thing I noticed. When I reboot back into MacOS 10, it still shows the two freebsd partitions, and it claims they are formatted as "MacOS Extended (Journalled)". I am *pretty* sure that I originally had DiskUtility format them as "Unix File System", so I find that a little odd. However, I did repartition the disk several times, so maybe I created those partitions as HFS+ on my final time. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
