| Installing PC-BSD, would like to create AFP share
I'm installing PC-BSD, for the first time, on a computer at home. Not installing FreeBSD because I always couldn't figure something out. Just before this, I had Ubuntu, but stuff started not working, I'm guessing I had something to do with that. 
Someone will be using this computer as their desktop, but I'd also like to create a AFP share (netatalk) on a big hard-drive that's in there to use with OS X Time Machine. Has anyone here done this before on a *BSD?
Any pointers or comments on how best to install stuff (ports or PC-BSD's system) and not break things?

| I found this for AFP on BSD: »www.caboo.se/articles/2006/1/18/···-freebsd
I'm not able to get PC-BSD running. But now I get "Missing operating system" at startup. |

Unchecking the "install bootloader" option solved the problem missing OS problem. PC-BSD Seems really crisp, and everything seems to be running fine.
I managed to set up netatalk (using »www.caboo.se/articles/2006/1/18/···-freebsd), and my Mac is able to connect to it using AFP.
It shows all the files of the user that's logged in (~/). Now, if I want the mount point of the AFP share to be ~/somefolder/, so that my Mac sees that as /, what would I have to change?
Clarification: Basically, I want to mount the PC-BSD shared folder as a drive on my Mac

| I'm still running a really ancient version of afpd, so I don't know if this will work for you, but this is what I have to share out some homedirs as well as another arbitrary directory in AppleVolumes.default:
It makes things simple(r) if you make a group and put all your users (both on the BSD side and the mac side) into it and then make that share group-writable. |

You should have everything you need, if not, a great start at »netatalk.sourceforge.net/
Im using this for the same purpose on my freeBSD server and the performance over samba is great |

Thank you again.
I have it working now. Absolute paths to the the folder didn't work, so I tried this instead with success:
Now I get this on my desktop: 
It's plenty fast for me. I'm using ChronoSync for backup currently. Will not use Time Machine with it because the disk is too small.
