I installed FreeBSD on an old black MacBook and have been able to resolve all of the issues with the Handbook, searching the forums and Google, and the Man pages.
I installed it on a 2009 MacBook Pro and the install didn't detect the wireless chipset, but the NVIDIA Ethernet chipset was detected.

dmesg
didn't show anything either. I found a thread on here about Broadcom and tried loading bwn
via /boot/loader.conf and now it's stuck in a reboot loop. Safe mode doesn't stop the rebooting, so I know having to reinstall FreeBSD will get me back to square 1. After I reinstall is there a command that does a deep hardware probe, even for devices not loaded? Thanks.
