bisdak4920 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I have been using ideneb 10.5.5 booting directly from a portable hard drive. I think this is better and faster than a dvd boot. Unlike Windows Mac will not modify your internal drive or drive c when you install and boot from your portable HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxtie Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 This is cool assuming the RamDisk is fastest part of system, OSX on RamDisk should be cool kewl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dense Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 0. You'll need to hack IOHDIXController.kext abit. Show its package contents, find Info.plist and change "Network-Root" to "Root". Do that for all its plugins as well. Regenerate Extensions.mkext. This is not needed if you use kextcache -n (which includes network extensions). Those of us who have been building Install DVDs have known about this for a while. For some bizarre reason the Ramdisk support was flagged network however its needed for a local boot due to the creation of the small ramdisks. IMHO a bug by Apple but its better to just create a mkext cache with the networking files in it (speeds up boot time because reading the mkext cache is faster than reading the individual files). 7. Now, boot from that media. at the darwin prompt, provide the params: -v -f -s rp=file:///live.dmg Shouldn't need the -f if you build the kextcache with -n and -l.

enli Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I hope there will be some script to automate the process or the working release of the live-dvd itself. Cant wait!! Keep up the the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartango Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 1000ft view of LiveDVD for clarification. This should be identical to USB: Bootloader (Darwin, Boot-132 system) --> finds mach_kernel, extensions.mkext, boot.plist -- Directly on dvd. --> launches kernel, loads kexts. --> kernel searches DVD for disk image(live.dmg, the desktop install) and mounts it. Netboot/liveboot proceeds. btw, the PXE idea is a really cool possibility. Give it a try: netboot for hackintosh awaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrog Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 1. Prepare the target media with boot-132. There are plenty of tuts in the genius bar for this... I need help on this point.... I can't find the right thread in the genius bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powaking Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Is it possible to create this in a virtual environment like say VMWare? Hate to have to pull out a drive and go through another install just to create a live disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhil Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Can we burn this into a pendrive? You cant "Burn it" for the simple fact that you cant burn anything into a usb drive like you could a cd. you can copy tho and if you refer to the first post This method provides a way to boot from media that are read-only by diverting all writes to a ramdisk. This means it can be used to boot from a dvd(described here), USB drive, or pretty much any other media. It uses BOOT-132/Darwin as a boot loader and then exploits Apple's netboot and imageboot systems to boot from a disk image. im sure you could have saved yourself some humiliation .. also, might wanna clean up your sig some so its about half that size before the mods come in and recklessly destroy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Could someone help / add "Live DVD script part" the team of the INSTAHackintosh Tool (an shell script making OSX86 (bootable) DVD out of an orig. OS X Leo DVD( .dmg) ? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=136138 Would be fine ! I think for the founders of the live dvd way (with shell script knowledge) it will be not heavy work. Most shell programming (lot of work, working already since V 1.0 !!!) is done and adding the new part "Live DVD (.iso)" will be only a short step of shell programming, but big step for OSX86_humanzied fans in 2009 !
