I've been following this thread from the beginning but haven't seen anything related to using this method for a multi-boot system. I installed Vista 64 on a partition and added EasyBCD 1.7.2 for boot management then tried loading OS X with the Boot 132 method I normally use and it wiped out the boot partition for Vista and the boot manager. If any of you are using Vista and OS X on the same physical drive please PM me or post to this thread if appropriate with some details of how it's done. I've read numerous other threads related to multi booting Vista/OS X/Ubuntu but so far none are working using the Boot 132 method.

 

 

 

Thanks!

one hdd. first step, install & make vista work in the 1st partition. next step, do a retail leopard install via boot-132 method. don't modify your leopard install. just make use of the boot-132 disc to boot to it. coz if u don't modify your retail leopard install, u can boot to your vista if the boot-132 disc is not in the optical drive. might be worth your try. :P

Try to use this file http://rapidshare.com/files/143797878/boot.html

 

edit1 this file maybe will work only for snow leo server

 

edit2 need to hex edit to remove protection for snow leo client

 

 

 

Virtualizing Mac OS X Leopard Client

VMWare Fusion 2.0 beta2 supports virtualizing Mac OS X Server as a guest OS. If you try to install a Leopard Client guest, you get an error

The guest operating system is not Mac OS X Server.

However, if you create an ISO/CDR image from your Leopard install DVD, mount it then do

touch "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist"

then unmount it, you can now use that image to install Leopard Client into VMWare with no complaints. After you install, reboot VMWare from the install DVD ISO again, run Terminal and

touch "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist"

then reboot from the HD. This probably violates your license agreement so don't do it, I certainly wouldn't.

Update:

You can automate the deletion and creation of the ServerVersion.plist file using a LaunchDaemon. Put the following xml in a new file /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.rectalogic.vmware.plist

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"

"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Label</key>

<string>com.rectalogic.vmware</string>

<key>ProgramArguments</key>

<array>

<string>/bin/bash</string>

<string>-c</string>

<string>/bin/rm -f /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist; trap "/usr/bin/touch /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist; exit" SIGINT SIGTERM SIGHUP; sleep 999999 & wait $!</string>

</array>

<key>KeepAlive</key>

<true/>

<key>RunAtLoad</key>

<true/>

</dict>

</plist>

Then run

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.rectalogic.vmware.plist

Now when you login ServerVersion.plist will be deleted, when you shutdown it will be recreated ready for the next reboot.

Alternative approach:

An alternative approach discussed in the comments is to hack VMWare to disable the check for server.

 

sudo bash

cd "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/isoimages"

mkdir original

mv darwin.iso tools-key.pub *.sig original

sed "s/ServerVersion.plist/SystemVersion.plist/g" < original/darwin.iso > darwin.iso

openssl genrsa -out tools-priv.pem 2048

openssl rsa -in tools-priv.pem -pubout -out tools-key.pub

openssl dgst -sha1 -sign tools-priv.pem < darwin.iso > darwin.iso.sig

for A in *.iso ; do openssl dgst -sha1 -sign tools-priv.pem < $A > $A.sig ; done

exit

Instead of sed (which seems to add an extra newline to the end of the iso) you might want to use

perl -n -p -e 's/ServerVersion.plist/SystemVersion.plist/g' < original/darwin.iso > darwin.iso

3 use Chameleon_DFE_for_Hard_Disk and make your flash or hdd bootable

4 change ServerVersion.plist and install

How do you change ServerVersion.plist in the Snow Leopard disc, and manage to reconstruct it into a bootable DMG/ISO?

Hi everyone :)

 

I'm actually using an iAtkos 10.5.4 on a Pentium4-Intel MoBo hackintosh (everything working!) and wandering if there's a way to change the installation to work with BOOT132. That seems to be a easier way to manage the system and updates without worries :(

 

Any help will be appreciated

 

Cheers!

Ok, I bit the bullet, and went ahead and updated to 10.5.5 straight through Software Update. System rebooted, then it re-rebooted itself once, and finally booted into OS X. Everything is working, except for my ALC883 Sound, but that's something that some people have reported as non-working from the update, so I guess I need to install that .kext, no big deal.

 

My system specs are in my signature. Thanks and cheers, y'all. :)

 

EDIT: Got sound back using a ALC883.mpkg that I had lying around my HDD (I think it came from a Kalyway disc?), because I tried to look at the Taruga Wiki but that place is cryptic as hell. I couldn't figure *anything* out from there. Thankfully, this pkg worked for me, so I decided to post it here in case anyone else needs it. Hope it helps. :)

I get it now. I am a believer in Boot-132! ... If done right.

 

I installed 10.5.4 retail disc to HDD and updated to 10.5.5 with no problem. Using the latest 10.5.5 kexts, I modified them for priority. It just took some .plist editing and a little know-how.

 

 

Thanks to all involved!

Hello. I'm having the same problem as venorm.

I made my own boot CD, with needed kexts, and i have copy of REAL RETAIL MAC OS X 10.5.4 DVD. I boot up with CD, then Darwin promt appears asking to enter boot options. I change CD with DVD and press ENTER and bottom lines changes and say to enter hexadecimal key [fe]. I enter that fe, press enter and it bumbs me back to previous stage, asking to enter boot options, i press enter again, and AGAIn theres asking to enter hexadecimal key, i tried allmost everything, 82, 83.. 9f.. Nothing works, except of my 2 HDD's (which are 80 and 81).

What should I do?

 

My system:

Mobo: Intel DP35DP (P35 Chip)

CPU: Intel Q6600

RAM: 2x2GB

Video:Gigabyte geForce 8600GTS

HDD: 1xSeagate HDD and 1xWD HDD

DVD-ROM: Samsung SATA DVD-RW

Search this very same topic for a reply by me on the subject, I give a step by step as to how to do it. Not exactly sure in which page it is, but just search this topic for posts done by Foodie_Monster and it should show up eventually.

Foodie Monster: If youre reffering to that page: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...3288&st=560

then you have to read my post one more time, because i did everything right.

 

Then I don't know how to help you, the method I listed worked for me, and it indeed sounds like you followed through with it. If it doesn't work, I'm really not sure why. Sorry.

hey Mamas. we have the same mobo. u can even use the orginal (generic) boot-132. or if you're interested, check this link.

 

if you're using boot-132 disc, after swapping discs, wait until the blinking of the optical drive stops. then u don't need to enter any hexadecimal key coz the default should already be the one for your optical drive since u just booted from boot-132 disc. just press enter.

 

good luck.

Hi folks,

 

If we could make the USB stick to boot both DVDs and HDs this would be perfect, but once we can't, let's be creative:

 

I have a 512MB Compact Flash card laying around here. What if I use it with an CF to IDE adapter and install Boot123 into it? Do you guys think I'd be able to boot both my SATA HD's and DVD drive from it?

 

The board I own is GA-P35-DS3.

 

:rolleyes:
