Hi,
I've installed FreeBSD on my MacBook Pro via bootcamp and sysinstall
breaks the partitions: Mac os X is not able to see his partition any
more. Only the freebsd slice is bootable.
- bootcamp to make a 'windows' (tm) partition,
- boot on the FreeBSD's dvd and install it.
I didn't notice when i made the installation but the 7.1 dvd see the
partitions as:
Name Ptype Desc Subtype
- 12 unused 0
ad4p1 5 unknown 0
ad4p2 5 unknown 0
- 12 unused 0
ad4p3 5 unknown 0
- 12 unused 0
FreeBSD 7.0 see:
Name Ptype Desc Subtype
- 12 unused 0
ad4s2 4 unknown 175
- 12 unused 0
ad4s3 7 fat 11
- 12 unused 0
And the installation works fine with 7.0 (on ad4s3)
I've updated to 7.1-STABLE (kernel GENERIC) and the sysinstall's fdisk
now see the drive exactly like 7.0. Hmmm...
Well, do not use 7.1 to install FreeBSD on a Mac via bootcamp.
Regards.
