Good day to all. I've searched down the forum but nothing seems to solve my problem.
I'm using an old Mac Mini G4 PPC, trying to install FreeBSD 8.2 and 9.0 and getting errors. Main partition contains 10.5.8 (Leopard PPC), with 30GB. Second one contained backups, 10 GB (This is important)
9.0 = Crashes as soon as disk is inserted. Corrupted Stack, Kernel Panic, cannot even boot (Spits it out, if I insist inserting it again, crashes even on booting Mac window).
"Well,let's try another version" - I Said.
8.2 = Boots ok, only allows me to create a partition mounted on "/". Why? Because if trying to put simply "Auto", on installing, it just complains about "UNable to write data to ad0". Solved by using a single partition mounted on "/".
Installing continues, tried using from Minimal to fully resourced.
Everyting seems fine. NO ERRORS, NO COMPLAINS. Then installer offers me to configure everything else, then remove media, reboot.
Mac OS X 10.5.8 boots directly. Maybe a boot loader problem? No way, when entering the second partition of my disk (The one I told you is important, about 10 GB)...
ALL MY BACKUPS ARE THERE! FROM SECURITY CAMERAS DUMP (Every single video works PERFECTLY) to my old music (Every mp3 loading correctly).
FreeBSD said EVERYTHING was fine, but didn't install anything at all. Also every file is there, and usable.
Any ideas?
PS: As I told, there wasn't even a chace to create a SWAP, just used the "/" partition using etire disc.
