I have the USB I used to install my current workstations. The system does 
not recognize the format. But now that you say that, It is probably too 
large. I will make a bootonly image on a small USB thanks.

Also I found the FreeBSD archives. They go back to 10.0. Down load those 
also. Aside from the stuff one learns doing things like this, the iMac will 
be a truly great workstation, assuming Xorg will work with the video card. 
Certainly not a given.
