There is a boot.tbxi that you can install too (and find in /usr/src/release/powerpc) that will let you use the OF boot menu to select FreeBSD if you are dual-booting. We really need to make installation work better. Can we include a port of Apple's HFS implementation in base? I know APSL1 was impossible, but are there any thoughts on APSL2 now? Having HFS support should also be valuable on x86 with more people dual-booting FreeBSD/OS X now. I suppose that writing a simple write-only HFS implementation should not be too hard, either. Maybe this could be hooked into gpart bootcode? -Nathan
