Any solid tutorials someone know about? Unless you really really really want to run native FBSD, I'd suggest installing Virtualbox under MacOS and running FreeBSD inside Virtualbox. Works great, avoids all of the hardware support issues. I have it set up so I can ssh into the virtual FBSD box from a MacOS terminal line, and run X programs under FBSD that use the native XQuartz X server under MacOS. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@iecc.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
