This is not true. At least it has been reported that the MacBook Pro
with Core Due 2 processor does not run.
Tas is right. I have my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo dual booting with
OS X and
OpenBSD (snap around 3/10). I _think_ my installation process was
this (since
I didn't do make release with -current):
1. Install 4.0 from the CD.
2. Copy an ACPI-enabled bsd.rd to a CDROM, boot to OpenBSD and
copy to the
hard drive.
3. Reboot and boot to bsd.rd and install the snapshot using FTP.
That's different than the report fom Jason Dixon. He was trying
current bsd.rd. Anyway, as you mention some problems remain. To me the
most annyoing is the UKC prompt not working, which means you can't
enable ACPI on a stock bsd.rd and you have to compile a bsd.rd with
ACPI enabled.
Actually, mine was a Core Duo like yours. I no longer have this
laptop, but it's still "in the family" (Darrin Chandler).
Other than that my MacBook (with Core Duo (no 2)) works quite ok,
apart from the sound and wireless, which do not work. Even X works,
but you'll have to use the 915 resolution port to get native
resolution.
The broken UKC is certainly an obstacle. Since both of you have
gotten it working on Core [2] Duo MacBook Pro's, I lean towards user
error.
