This sounds like fun. I'd like to be able to dual-boot between OSX and FreeBSD. Is this procedure documented somewhere (wiki maybe)? Looks like I have to create three partitions: 800K strapping one, OSX HFS+, FreeBSD UFS2. Does the loader in 800K needs any treatment to see both OSes and be able to select which one to boot? Thanks. ./danfe
