I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 on a new (i.e. Core 2 Duo) Mac mini. It was generally remarkably painless, except for getting up-to-date with Xorg. I used Boot Camp Assistant to partition the disk, but I didn't install rEFIt so I have to select "windows' to boot FreeBSD. I got a "double fault" when exiting the FreeBSD installer but everything seems ok. Both cores are recognised and appear to work. I haven't bothered to get the wired ethernet working because the wireless works adequately. I had to use 915resolution to get my 1680x1050 display working properly with X. I haven't installed the Macbook patches (http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook) as they seem to be for current, and I'm running 6.2. Many of them are irrelevant to the mini anyway (backlight etc). The one thing I don't seem to have is sound: kldload snd_driver doesn't seem to find any sound devices. Is there a solution to this? -- Richard
