[FreeBSD-users-jp 96319] Re: FreeBSD on iMac 5,1 2006 20 inch

[りょう]

Hi, SHIRAISHI and other folks

I'm sorry but I mistook posting to this ML.

As I said to SHIRAISHI, I already tried many  ways I thought possible to
boot such as bless command on Snow Leopard DVD.

Now I'm suspecting that this issue is by the HDD I equipped because of IO
errors of old one, so then I write the type number of the HDD:

WDC WD20EZRX-00D8PB0 Mrdia

Is this an appropriate information for this issue? I hope this information
helps issues like this resolved.

Ryow
