Yesterday I started installing FreeBSD, on an old Mac-mini G4. The install broke just after partitioning the drive with the following error :
Error mounting /dev/ad0s3 /mnt Operation Not Permited
And I could not get past that step in the install. After fumbling a bit - I got back at reading the docs and discovering that the partitioner did not really work for the PowerPC port - and that booting directly in FreeBSD was not possible :-( That made FreeBSD/PowerPC something unusable for what I had in mind. I might If I ever get such a machine at home , and find the time try to fix that but .....
A few minutes after that I went to ask a question to a colleague about the ads network and the delivery of ads - to which he replied that I should have carefully read the email he had sent that same morning. I had read the email up to 66% of it and the information I was asking for was lying in the last 30% of the email.
When I start anything by reading the documentation I often get bored and confused - but I think that after those two "issues" in the same day I will read some stuff more carefully from now on.
