What you should do is to partition the target drive using a tool on OSX. Then, do the FreeBSD install. Manually select the partitions and assign directories to them. The easiest approach is to put / on a partition. The next step, setting up the system to boot, is slightly manual. See http://www.freebsd.org/~grehan/iso_install.txt Yes, this is far from perfect, or perhaps even usable, but that's why PPC is tier-2. later, Peter.
