Hello !
I have a MacBook Pro 9,1 (one before the Retina version) and like to setup a dual boot system using Mac OS X (to update the SMC and firmware, to use things like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and so on) and FreeBSD (I think with Fluxbox).
Mac OS X is based on a BSD so why FreeBSD ? Long story - short answer, I am unhappy with the results of Fink, MacPorts and Homebrew. The people behind the projects do a good work, but sometimes it feels like something half baken (like a virtual machine).
I found no answers to my question, so I thought, I try it here. Has someone some experience to setup FreeBSD on a MacBook Pro ?
The Hardware information I could provide is the following : Intel Core i7 2,7 GHz Quad Core, Intel HD Graphics 4000 + NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1GB, Bluetooth Broadcom, SATA Intel, USB Intel, WLAN Firmware : Broadcom BCM43xx.
Some informations like which FreeBSD version I should use, which drivers I should use and from where I get it and so on would be great.
Thanks for answers to my questions.
