Just subscribed to list, so pardon my screwing up msg threading.
I would like to install FreeBSD on my MacBook Pro 5,5.
Attempting to install from DVD isos of -CURRENT and -STABLE snapshots
results in panic right after the initial menu. (I believe these
snapshots are 14 Oct or thereabouts - sorry, behind a firewall and
without FTP access ATM.) HPS's remark about memory used after free
sounds like what I remember of the message re the panic.
Should using the OsdMemory.c patch from HPS's October 12th email and
rolling my own install iso from -CURRENT result in a working install iso
on my hardware, or are there additional problems?
Thanks,
Jud
