Installing FreeBSD on Mac Mini 4G PPC

Hello!

I reformatted and reinstalled, this time it worked. The only problem I had is that I needed to restart the installation after gpart, otherwise it said the / filesystem was full.

I can now verify that the installation works on Mac Mini 4G 1.25GHz, only thing special is that I need to set hw.ata.atapi_dma=0, or I get disk errors.

Thanks for your help!
