>> It looks like I essentially have to do a full installation of FreeBSD, now 9.0-BETA3, into /compat/i386 . You don't have to do that if you use the prebuild package from the link. It has version for both FreeBSD 8 and 9. It works for me without the need for /compat/i386 chroot. -- Lyubomir Grigorov (bgalakazam)
