Cruising Flame Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 One thing isn't clear for me do you need an EFI board for netkas pcefi ? (Mine is an GA-P35-DS4 => BIOS board) I can boot it with grub. But I want it without grub because every time I have to enter the drive (like 80 or 81). When I do it like this: cd /Volumes/123/pc_efi_v8 ./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsY ./boot_v8y dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1 It doesn't do anything just a blinkin cursur and the hd led that keeps lighting up (this is booting from HD without grub). My parition list is as follows disk1s0 GUID disk1s1 EFI disk1s2 HFS+ journalled So the rdiskXsY is disk1s2 And What's about the gfx string ? Does it mean it reconize my 2600XT (min is a saphire 2600xt 5212MB) ? Because I applied it in com.apple.boot.plist and I still need the -x option to boot for the first time. Else I get an crappy image with weird pixels. After installen the radeon drivers from netkas it works fine. But whats the point now of the gfx string if I still need the drivers ? Sorry for all my questions maybe they are already somewhere answered on this forum but I didn't found it yet. Also I want to say thnx to all the people who made it possible to bring a mac to everybodies home :-). Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
