Well for now I'm booting from an USB 1.0 HD, but my ultimate goal is =20 to boot from the FW. I'm not ready to give up right now ^^ > If both are not true, if you can, try to use the pdisk from OS-X to =20= > format your partition you want fbsd installed on. That's what I did. In fact, this is my partition map: #: type name length =20 base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Bootstrap freebsd_boot 4000 @ 64 ( 2.0M) 3: Apple_HFS Extra 156297424 @ 4064 ( 74.5G) But I keep getting an "Operation not permitted" with sysinstall. I =20 even tried fdisk. And I used the "dd" command to copy the boot1.hfs =20 file. I'll see if I can find an answer in the freebsd-ppc list archive. Fabio
