Does anyone know if work on booting FreeBSD on modern Apple hardware
was ever completed?  I have looked on the wiki, forums, and email =
archives
but I don't see anything definitive.

I would like to have a GPT partitioned disk with a freebsd-boot, =
freebsd-swap,
and multiple freebsd-ufs partitions on a new Mac mini.  Any pointers =
would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Kim
