How to Update to EFI V9 from iATKOS 2.0 V8

I've discovered that the bootloader in iATKOS 2.0i is the only one that lets me do triple-boot with GUID plus a storage partition on my Tosh Tecra M7 tablet.

How can I upgrade to EFI V9? Where is the "boot" file located? It's not in my HFS+ root.

 

 

Background:

 

I want to upgrade to PC EFI V9, so that I can upgrade to 10.5.6. I know that I have PC EFI V8 installed, but I can't find the "boot" file to replace. I know that installing Chameleon gives me various boot errors that I don't have with the default iATKOS 2.0i bootloader.

 

I currently use the default Vista bootloader to get into Darwin/Vista/Linux.

 

My partition scheme is as follows:

 

MBR:

NTFS for Vista

GUID-encapsulated HFS+ for MacOS (MBR sees it as HFS+ though)

ext3 for Ubuntu

NFTS for Storage

 

GUID:

Foreign boot

HFS+ for MacOS

Foreign boot

Foreign boot

 

I had to delete the 200 MB root FAT32 partition so that Windows would recognize my storage drive.

 

Note also that I did not use the default iATKOS 2.0i installation, but installed from retail; I merely used the bootloader from the iATKOS disc because for me it was almost failsafe.

 

Recap: how do I update to EFI V9 from the default iATKOS 2.0i bootloader?

 

 

Many thanks,

NighTalon
