--- Comment #49 from Sean McBride <sean@rogue-research.com> ---
Toomas, I tried your oi.iso. I burnt it to DVD and booted the MacMini4,1 at my
office.  I _didn't_ hack it to remove the EFI part.  This Mac has 64 bit EFI. 
When holding option key at boot (that's how to get the boot disk choice on
Mac), I see two choices from that DVD:

- "Windows" (which, I believe, it what it calls any old BIOS option)
- "EFI boot"

I tried both.  I no longer see any LUA error messages!  And it gets farther
too, with a 'Welcome to illumos' message, and multi user / single user choice. 

But it still ends up failing, the output is:

Loading unix...
can't find 'unix'
Loading i86pc/kernel/amd64...
can't find 'i86pc/kernel/amd64'

Unable to load a kernel!

So I guess you definitely fixed something!  But I still can't install FreeBSD.
:(
