I used the d-i image to install kfreebsd-i386 on my eeepc 701 a couple of days ago. I basically extracted the CD contents and installed GRUB to the USB stick. Works great. Only thing I had to do is load the 'ae' ethernet driver manually from boot with 'kfreebsd_module_elf', otherwise the installer wouldn't detect any interfaces. I'm hoping to put together an eeepc-specific image with everything supported/working out of the box (the Atheros wifi will mean a custom kernel with non-free bits though) in the same style as the existing Linux image. -- Joshua -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
