But I'd like to boot FreeBSD without the CD. Since OF can't boot from UFS2, I created a small (1GB) HFS partition using the Apple disk utility. Now, how do I transfer /boot/loader into that partition, so that I can boot FreeBSD without using a CD? Any other suggestions on how to boot FreeBSD on a Mac? -Arun
