This I Have done but I don't recall any specifics. I'm pretty sure I tried 6.1 and 6.3 but I forget which processor (amd64 vs i386). However personal preference: I'd rather run the box native FreeBSD and not have to bother with Mac OS X. I was actually musing that this (VM) might be a nice way to pre-install a complete custom system. Install, configure, add packages, tweak your fav kernel stuff, etc then dump/restore to a real disk and pop in to a physical system. I used to so something like this with NeXT systems. Twerked good. It all sounds promising enough to buy a new toy. I'll let you all know "real soon now" if/how I get it running. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
