I've a MBP 5,2 which I can't get to boot the FreeBSD install media
successfully.  Tried the 201004 9.x snapshot most recently, which goes
v...e...r...y s...l...o...w...l...y reading the kernel and then grinds
to a halt after printing a message about ACPI.

Cheers,

Matthew

So I think it is a problem in the keyboard driver.
Which Macbook pro model is it?

I use a model 3,1 and it works fine.

I suggest you to ask on the usb mailing list.

Actuall it seems to work with US ISO och US UNIX too but only with the fixit cd.

In the FreeBSD boot-meny I also can use the keyboard properly, but when Im 
trying to log in on the booted system
no keys work properly.  It almost seems like the ctrl-key is constantly 
pressed. (pressing say F gives me ^F on the screen
and L clears it like ctrl+L does)

There is a french keymap fr.macbook.acc.kbd. May be you can adapt it?
This it not very hard to do.

There is a new and small utility to get the scancode (use it in a
console, not under X): http://hack.org/mc/hacks/kbdscan/

FreeBSD on MacBook Pro.

2010-04-23 Thread Peter Ankerstål
Im trying to install FreeBSD on a macbook with dualboot. Everyting works out 
fine but the keymap doesnt work at all. 
I've tried alot of keymaps but everyting it produces is "mumbojumbo". What 
keymap should I use to get the macbook 
working in console?
