I have made a few notes here: http://borderworlds.dk/notes/freebsd-macbook.html I just used boot camp and did a pretty standard install. I would recommend installing a 7.1-BETA release to have the wired ethernet working from the beginning. -- Christian Laursen _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
