I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. I just know it worked for me using the dmg and installing from OSInstall.mpkg to an external drive. No guarantees here. I did not mean to get anyones hopes up.

Exact. I think this should look like this, right?

When I try to erase the HD on this screen I get the message that the data on the whole HD (including data on Volume 1 Macintosh HD) will be lost.


Maybe I just try it tomorrow. I have recent updates of my home dir, so there would be no big loss. Would take a while to recover all apps and my music, which is not located in my user directory.

But I would prefer a solution without screwing up my HD. smile.gif

Yeap, but your second partition it is not an afs or hfs+ partition, frei partition need to be on left painel, under macintosh hd partition.

Because your 2nd partition its not recognized, to tiger u have only one partition. With linux fdisk u can change type "AF", apples partition type.

Greetings,

No the problem is that most of your external or internal drivers are set to the Mac partition types.
In DiskUtility hit options and set it to GTK so you can boot on an intel mac and then partition.

Regards,

It might help if you posted WHAT type of machine you are trying to load it on.

It's kinda like saying "My car wont' work" but not specifying how it won't work.

You need to format it in Mac OS Extended (jornualed).

I have the same issue as Jaffa had.
Formatted my external hard drive Mac OS Extended (journaled) but it won't let me install it because it says that I can't boot from it.
Jaffa or anyone else, do you know what the problem can be?

Hey there.

If you're having problems with the no-DVD install where none of your disks can be installed to (it says OS/X can't boot off this device, or something like that), it means that your external drive is on USB. That won't work. Only external firewire drives can be installed to.

Good Luck,
Knick

I tried at least 3 times, but I get allways stucked in the Post-Treatment phase of the BSD installation...

Is it Ok, does it take this long (it says 2 minutes left before the end of process, but the bar doesn't progress...) or do I have a real problem ?

I try to install on a second hard disk, without any system on it...

I also tried in safe mode, I still get blocked in the final phase of the installation.

Any comment?
