Hello,
I've previously tried to burn the FreeBSD 8.1 PPC ISO on my Apple computer, though while the image checksums, it doesn't successfully burn using OS X's tools. It was recommended that I try to install the OS from a USB drive, though my firmware version doesn't allow that.
As I have yet no budget for the purchase of a dedicated server, I felt I could install it from an existing partition. At the present time, I have one APM volume with three HFS+ partitions: one for OS X, one for the FreeBSD ISO, one for the FreeBSD OS.
Right now I'm uncertain how to boot from the image. I've tried to bless /boot and create a boot.efi from boot.tbxi but I am still unable to choose that partition to boot from.
Has anyone attempted this or is anyone familiar enough with APMs to guide me?
Thanks.
