I run OpenBSD amd64 current (as of 2 weeks ago) on my MacBookPro5,3 (the
latest 15 inch).
Overall, the hardware is pretty well supported.
I'm dual booting between OpenBSD and OSX 10.6.2. For the last year or so
I've been meaning to write a dual-booting guide to send to nick for the
faq, but never got around to it, it's still on my todo list though.
apmd works ok, although suspend is not supported. 4.6 did not regulate
processor speed properly, but that's been fixed in current.
The biggest obstacle in running OpenBSD on the MacBook Pro is that the
wireless card is not supported. For now I'm using a little usb wireless
card I got at microcenter. The usb wireless (run0) is the only thing in
my dmesg that is not part of the default hardware.
I can confirm the problem about not all the ram being recognized, I have
8g installed and only about 2g can be used.
X works well, I have no complaints (other than its insecure nature). I'm
running scrotwm (marco's wonderful lightweight window manager) and have
yet to find something in X that doesn't work on my hardware.
Sound seems to not work, despite azalia showing up in the dmesg, but I
can't say that I've thoroughly tested it either.
I have yet to find a way to detect when the lid of the laptop is closed,
if anyone knows anything about this, please do share.
Here's my dmesg, again run0 is an external usb wireless card:
