It looks like UNetbootIn is broken for FreeBSD ISO images (it doesn't do the right thing when presented a FreeBSD ISO). See http://ivoras.sharanet.org/blog/tree/2009-02-07.installing-freebsd-on-ace= r-aspire-one-netbook.html for a workaround. --------------enigE3CF12EA6EEBC300EC6C90E7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmd5B0ACgkQldnAQVacBcgw4wCcChxqLkCamfkBeJmapoNtDEY4 oAEAn39QpKgMa7bLEIMhCjEVXHQ8nPcP =GvNe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE3CF12EA6EEBC300EC6C90E7--
