Has anyone written a detailed how-to for installing the PPC port of FreeBSD onto a g4 mac mini as the only OS? I want to use a mini to replace my current BSD server due to it's small size. However, I've been finding issues regarding the OpenFirmware that boots the mac. I've seen that it only reads HFS+ partitions and that fdisk does not work on the PPC port... So is there a detailed set of instructions on how to do this? I've seen http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/iso_install.txt but It's not horribly detailed. If I do make the change to FreeBSD on a mac mini, it'll be the only OS and I'd rather not have to boot into the openfirmware everytime I need to reboot the box. If anyone has done this and can give me a step-by-step of their experience, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, cypherfrosthelp
