FreeBSD Problem ...

I have both Linux and Mac on my computer. I use my Mac for games, school work, and other things and use my linux for programming.

I used FreeBSD before I ever had a Mac, on a old intel computer, I liekd it alot so I am trying it out once again. But, I have a problem installing it on my Mac now :/

I insert the 6.0 PPC FreeBSD CD, I hold 'C', the boot screen comes up and everything is fine. I go to the partitions and click (a)uto to auto partition my drive. I does it and I click (q)uit and then exit. I informs me that this my last chance to turn back etc, etc. I click OK, it says creating FileSystem, then it says error opertation not permitted. Then it says error mounting {partition} to /mnt (Giving up!).

Has anyone had any success installing FreeBSD? or is it just me :(

I have a MacMini 1.4Ghz computer, non-intel.

Thanks.
 
I have never loaded FreeBSD on anything other then intel or amd.

What ISO are you truing to load with

The bootonly or the full size cd
 
The boot only iso is about 34mb the full looks like it's 205mb.

I have seen errors like this when installing on intel or amd.

I would try burning the iso images again they sound like they might be corrupt.

What are you using to burn the iso's ?
