I've a IIsi with 9/40 setup and since I've never tried to install MacBSD on it,
I was wondering how it would work.  I've been following the comments, but I
think that a general summary from someone knowledgeable would be in order.

Here are some questions that I'd like answered:

Does the FPU emulation code work?  (I don't have an FPU.)

Do the virtual terminals work?  (I remember reading somewhere that they weren't)

Does the ADB code work on the si or do you have to remotely login?


One other point.  I read the FAQ and one of the things that was mentioned was
the inability to make a mac partition smaller than about 2 megs on a HD.  I
found a program recently called SetupPartitions by Fabrizio Oddone that will
make smaller partitions (I have a 996k-byte partition on my drive--what Apple
forgot to format).  I found it at the Mac Archive at U of Michigan.  I'm not
sure if such small partitions are bootable; I've never tried.

Thanks,
