#Install linux on mac mini mid 2007 install#
Is someone willing to update the ZFS install on a MBR formatted disk for version 9.1? I've downloaded the FreeBSD-8.4-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1 image and will give that a try. The ZFS bootstrap files look like they have changed a lot between version 8.4 and version 9.1. What exists is for version 8.4 "Installing FreeBSD Root on ZFS using FreeBSD-ZFS partition in a FreeBSD MBR Slice". I can't seem to find any MBR/ZFS install example for FreeBSD 9.1. I can copy an OSX system from a GPT partition quite readily.) (The OSX installer won 't let you install on anything other than GPT, but that 's another matter. I can live with that OSX does not seem to care whether its disk format is GPT, MBR or APM. What others claim to work is installing on an MBR style partitioning scheme. I've searched the forums, and other people have had similar problems.

I can boot off an external Firewire drive to an OSX system with rEFIt installed, but running rEFIt off the external drive does not show the FreeBSD system either. I've tried this both with FreeBSD 9.1 alone, and FreeBSD 9.1 with an OSX partition with rEFIt installed. I'm completely willing to reformat the hard drive it has no useful information on it What I want to accomplish: install a FreeBSD/ZFS file system with a dual boot with OSX. I've experimented with changing the the gpart bootcode to not overwrite the GPT structure by eliminating the -b option, but that will let me boot from OSX, and get into rEFIt. The system is not bootable to the internal drive. I have a Mac Mini that apparently does a GPT install from the DVD just fine, but writing the boot code with gpart apparently trashes enough of the GPT header to completely confuse the Mac Mini's firmware.
