According to this:

The actual magic is in a Firmware update wich seems to add some  
Legacy BIOS support to make it work. Boot Camp is just a nice helper  
to resize your hard drive and provide some Windows drivers in a  
package :-)

I just tried to boot FreeBSD on my MacBook Pro, and it did seem to  
start booting, but I could not see anything, just a white / grey screen.

I guess I need framebuffer support?

I am downloading Fedora now and will give it a shot shortly.


How would I go about building a FreeBSD CD with a framebuffer on it? :-)
