Does anyone have it running on a Mac Mini (intel)?  I might be
interested in getting a couple to handle email services to nfs mounted mail stores. I like their small size and ability to stick several of them in my racks without really taking much room. (We are short of rack
space at the moment for many new servers).

Does FreeBSD 6.x actually boot on the hardware of these Macs yet?
(They're using EFI, not the classic PC BIOS.)

Yes, with Bootcamp. However, they cannot boot FreeBSD automatically (or at least I haven't found a way to do it). You must hold the Option key
down at boot-time to select the alternate OS.

Have you tried BAMBIOS (<http://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/misc/ legacyboot/> ?)
