Dragonfly
Dragonfly on the Macbook Pro
Today I grabbed an iso-image of Dragonfly BSD 2.0 and burned into a CD-ROM, because I was curious if it would boot up on my MacBook Pro.
During the startup I pressed the key 'c' to boot from CD-ROM and the bootloader cam up:
The internal keyboard doesn't work, therefore I had no choice than waiting 10 seconds and booting the default kernel. At least the default kernel started to boot and I saw a lot of kernel messeages until the boot process hang with these last messages:
I waited for several minutes, but it just stopped here. Unfortunately, I don't not have USB keyboad here at home and I forgot to take one from work. That's why I will stop here, but I will continue to look into this problem as sonn as I've got a new USB keyboard (my old one didn't like the beer in it ;) ).
So it looks like it will be some work to get Dragonfly to boot up on a MacBook Pro. Come back to see what will change when acpi is disable or when booting a -current kernel ...
