You happen to know > where I can find a FreeBSD PPC disc which allows me to do this? Thanks! I don't believe such a disc exists for PowerPC. You might try a linux livecd like finnix-ppc which was what I used, as it has GNU Parted which _will_ set up your partitions properly.=20 Alternatively you could boot into OSX with installer disc 1 and use the Disk Utility. It doesn't matter what type of partition is what just as long as you have that small HFS one (which the dd image will take care of anyway).=20 Then just sysinstall as normal. Happy BSDing on your mac!=20 -- Horst. --=-pyDmshrI3I8xm5HyMbLg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkkIw80ACgkQRtTtv0BbTe6AzACbBhey+FXiv+rOw0v91Uf2Bl9h 5WQAnjywrfTZ0kxCRcca88CbzRpeFjhr =Pp3s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-pyDmshrI3I8xm5HyMbLg--
