BJMoose Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi, first of all I just want to say a big kudos from Munky for this tutorial. I've been away from this forum since just after we got 10.5.0 to work with the BadAxe2 motherboard (still have 3 of those systems working with Chameleon now). I'm now running my #1 system (2 of the Gigabyte boards) running with Chameleon on my EFI partition. My question is this: "Is there a way to mount the EFI partition to allow me to edit my com.apple.Boot.plist [or even to change my Extensions.mkext] from within that partition. I've tried with mount_hfs but haven't had any luck yet. Up to this point, I've just been doing the eraseVolume thing and starting my Chameleon bootloader all over again with the new changes. Sure would be simple if I could edit without having to do that. Peace...BJMoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piplodocus Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 There's a MountEFI.kext about somewhere! Ran into that earlier after not being here for a long while and wondering if I can get sleep working finally (along with loading the new Chameleon 2 RC1, and DSDT patching). So I've never tried it myself, but I read about it in my last hours of post reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
