I would like to install FreeBSD on my Macintosh DUO. 
1. Is there a reason why this would not be possible?
2. I installed the Mac port, and started the booter.
It hangs after the 'boot' dialogue. If I enable the Video board 
checks, it displays a message that it is checking the video boards, and 
then hangs.
I would be grateful for any pointer or suggestion that would help me 
get the system off the ground, 
Edward.
