Hey everyone,
I'm having a few problems when trying to install 1.12 on a Macbook
Pro. So it loads off the DVD (I didn't have any CDs spare but it seems
to work fine) and, after a bit, a prompt comes up so I can choose what
kernel I want. So here is the first problem. If I choose option 1

I recall Yonetani was working on Macbook support, but I don't think we
ever reached an installable point.
It just seems so close...
It would be neat if we did.
Of course it would :)

What else has had its fingers on that disk and its label prior to

Well I used the Boot Camp Assistant (basically a partitioner) from
within Mac OS X which resized my disk for installing Windows. So it
formatted it with FAT32 but I

I don't have one of those handy at the moment so I think I'll keep on

I suppose this is the same problem I have seen in NetBSD. Basically,
some firmware images reenable interrupts when the legacy support is
turned off. Fix can be found in NetBSD's UHCI driver.
That would wouldn't happen to be related to another
Another observation I have made; I am trying to install slice /dev/
ad4s3. Now if I run:
ls /dev/ad4s*
I'll get output for the additional lettered partitions for slices s0,
s1 but not anything greater for slices s2 and s3, for instance. Could
this be the reason that disklabel is throwing

Does it help if you do:
% cd /dev
% sh ./MAKEDEV /dev/ad4s3a
This creates /dev/ad4s3[a-p] e.g. if i remember correctly.
I tried something similar:
% cd /dev

It created the /dev/ad4s3[a-p] like you said. I had another go

either, which should make eINIT very well suited for embedded
