How does FreeBSD boot?
Just installed it, but it hadn't written into the MBR.
Bootpartition and loader isn't able to be chosen manually...
Jose Walker
Is this the new mac general?
Benjamin King
did you partition it as GPT
Thomas Peterson
yes
Blake Bell
No, because macfags don't know anything about OS X other than it's shiny.
Chase Mitchell
that's why
Grayson Ortiz
Win 7 is installed parallely
Gavin Taylor
OSX is the only usable BSD though
Luis Jones

OpenBSD has the coolest release artwork, damn.

>PC-BSD (an operating system based on FreeBSD) avoids dependency hell by placing packages and dependencies into self-contained directories, which avoids breakage if system libraries are upgraded or changed. PC-BSD uses its own "PBI" (Push Button Installer) for package management.
Does FreeBSD do that?
Sebastian Ortiz
i think poudriere is meant to do something like this, yeah
openbsd does something similar by "fake installs" which installs stuff in a temporary directory then packages the program, therefore allowing you to remove it easily if something goes wrong

I'm wondering what the difference between OpenBSD and FreeBSD is and which is easier to learn on?
Wyatt Fisher
Both have great documentation so both are easy.
OpenBSD comes with X though.

I've got OBSD5.9 on my thinkpad and it's worked flawlessly so far. Battery life is the same as in Linux (close to Windows) and everything else is rock solid. Would recommend.
Julian Peterson
are you using apmd, too? heard it helps a lot with laptops
Carson Edwards
here's a cool, somewhat hi-res one
best release artwork so far

But possible you make your partitions incorrectly:
freebsd.org
Or simple use not uefi image on uefi system etc.
