I have a 2008 Mac Pro (NOT a MacBook) that's been happily running FreeBSD for years via MBR partitioned disks. When the Mac sees the MBR partition it kicks in a bunch of bios emulation, which lets freebsd run. I've recently been inspired to try the EFI booting stuff. It has the attraction of enabling the two extra SATA ports on the motherboard (or more accurately, not disabling them as the BIOS emulation appears to...). I updated my svn repo to include the patches from Bug 193745, built and installed everything, and then cd /usr/src/release/ make -DNOPORTS -DNODOC uefi-memstick dd if=uefi-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1m The memstick booted and the boot sequence displayed in a small window centered in my large monitor, so I believe that I built everything correctly and that I am testing these changes. As before, I end up stuck at Booting... Start @ 0xffffffff802dfd10 The computer appears to be running, the usb key shows activity on and off for a few moments then settles down. If I press&release the power button, the machine shuts itself down successfully. I can't think of any way to get a serial console on the older Mac Pro, nor can I figure out how to ssh into the uefi-memstick image, so I can't tell what it's doing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
