Thanks for the posts regarding using boot 132 for leopard, to help ake this guide a reality.

 

 

 

 

This will only work on a vanilla capable PC, so no AMD. 

 

 

 

 

 

 Alternatively you can add dsmos.kext for snow leopard instead on fakesmc

The iso contains an initrd.img mount it and copy contents.

 

Great a new .img file and then injected it into the iso with winiso (in windows)

 

 

 

 

Alternatively you can use a method like explained in this thread for leopard.

why dont you just include fakesmc in the initrd.img and put it on rapid share rather than getting everyone to add it themselves... ive always had trouble when adding kexts as i get an image checksum error or something like that when i try to boot the cd.

Sorry lost the completed work have to start from scratch. Tell me if you know any tool to create .img be it Windows OS X or linux!

 

 

 

 

 

Asked someone else to pack .img last time though it was my idea.

Am unable to get Boot123 made by nonne9 to boot. Burned it using disk utility. When i try to boot from it, the computer just skips over it.

 

because you have to start from scratch every time you make a boot-132 disc for some strange reason. otherwise it gets skipped over.
