drarok Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 (edited) No, I didn't. I had the pre-prepped HD image, but the ISO was crapped. Re-did it and it worked, it's booting now. Unfortunately, it's booting on my home machine and i'm at work, looking at it on Terminal Services, so it'll be DOG slow! lol Edit: Is this meant to happen after the apple logo? http://phobos.fatboylan.co.uk/~drarok/rightornot.jpg ? Edit2: Never mind! It was booting, but SO slow!

Rek Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I tried it kinda :/ but i got lost :| # # bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing # machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup # #prom_env_bootargs = "" #prom_env_machargs = "-v" prom_env_machargs = "" # # This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X # Go into your config file and change the "prom_env_machargs" to read "-s". Thats SMALL s, not capital s.

plainold Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 yessss, I did it!! heres what I did: before step 13 in this guide you'll have to follow the prom thing. the important thing is to put the partitions in right order: the right order is: 1.the map partition 2.the osx installation partition (the one thats 2.9 GB) 3. the rest 4. the rest after this you do step 13 in this guide :) good luck Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/167708-installing-os-x-102-on-a-pc/page/3/#findComment-2135310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
