Installing FreeBSD on Parallels

To get networking to work, don't use ipv6.

Xorg settings: Use pcm0 for the mouse driver, sysmouse won't work with the trackpad. Use the default keyboard model (not macbook) vesa for the video card driver. Fullscreen mode is 1280x800

xmonad: Works fine, remember to get xmonad-contrib. xmobar works, but won't be able to get cpu/mem/etc info from /proc. Haven't tried dzen2 yet.

I wonder if I can get a smaller image size if I use a different disk partition. ~5GB for a minimalistic install seems a bit much.
