When I boot the install CD, it starts printing hardware information and appears to freeze at: acpi0: on motherboard >How-To-Repeat: Boot the Installation CD (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso) on an 13.3" Aluminum MacBook (newer models are now named MacBook Pro). My MacBook is has a nVidia GPU and an Intel Core2Duo Processor with 2Ghz. >Fix: It seems like other Users already had the same Problem: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=12289 The MacBook Wiki (http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook) provides a solution: If your system stops early at boot, try reverting r189055: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?v...evision=189055 But how can someone revert this revision if he has no PC running FreeBSD? And i don't know if this is the final solution. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
