Your specific problem is that you are typing two commands on the same
line:

cd /Volumes/LACIE/Freenet/0.7 ./run.sh start

Where did you see this? These are two separate lines.

First you do cd /Volumes/LACIE/Freenet/0.7
Then you do ./run.sh start

Does that work? Please tell us if it doesn't.

As for the general point, we don't have any active developers using
OS/X. In fact, we have very few willing to work on Windows installers
let alone OS/X, which is about as popular as Linux on the desktop but
far less so amongst programmers and privacy geeks.
