Installing FreeBSD on Mac Mini 4G PPC

[Markus Hästbacka]

Hi!
Hadn't seen that recipe before, but I managed to get it booted via cd already. Now the problem I have trying to run gpart bootcode -p /mnt/boot/boot1.hfs -i 1 ad0 I get: gpart: /dev/ad0s2: Operation not permitted, did I understand the recipes command incorrectly?

Output of gpart show:
=>        8  156301480  ad0  APM  (75G)
          8         56       - free -  (28K)
         64     390626    1  apple-boot  (191M)
     390690    1953126    2  apple-ufs  (954M)
    2343816   68359376    3  apple-ufs  (33G)
   70703192    3906251    4  apple-ufs  (1.9G)
   74609443   81691996    5  apple-ufs  (39G)
  156301439         49       - free -  (25K)

What I want is that the computer would boot automaticly to FreeBSD (which is the only os on the system)

Thanks,
Markus
