I'm interested in using one of these to multiboot OS X and FreeBSD and am wondering if it is yet known to work or not. Do any changes need to be made to FreeBSD or should it work out of the box? Thanks for any insight and I know that it may be impossible to fully answer until people get their hands on the hardware but I just wanted to start thinking about the possibilities. --Alan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
