The wiki article needed some attention as the syntax for commands did not apply but through this process I discovered a crash in gpt where a missing check in the source means that a null pointer is passed to one of the gpt commands. I used the MacBook install wiki article as a rough guide on gpt partitioning and got a daily image installed. I was able to get the system to boot using the conventional (non-UEFI) image by opting to boot without SMP & ACPI enabled. Unfortunately the same issue is still present, the system panics very early in the boot process kern/52229 when using the UEFI image and fails when enumerating CPUs present. I’m still running FreeBSD on my 11″ Air and so was keen to see if there had been any progress in NetBSD with regards to supporting the Intel based Macs. First port of call was to see state of NetBSD support since I last visited it. Things basically came together around the event of a late 2009 13″ MacBook entering my life. I wanted to resume writing up notes about what I’d been working on as with the “A week of pkgsrc” series, this actually spans the last few weeks.
