But I haven't succeeded yet. When booting on the install CD with version 7.2, it shows a "fatal kernel trap" and immediately reboots. As for version 8, the console freezes after a few seconds. I've been advised to send a problem report at this e-mail address. More details about this problem can be found here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=46170#post46170 I'd be happy to see freebsd work on those imacs. As a developer myself, I'd be pleased to help. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Best regards Fabio
