WhetPhish Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hi, I've got two hard disks, one with Mac OS X SL 10.6.4 installed on it and the other with FreeBSD 8.1. Whenever I boot Mac OS X it tells me that it doesn't recognise the FreeBSD filesystem (FFS I believe) and asks me if I want to Initialise/Eject/Ignore the drive. My questions are a) Is there a FFS driver available for Mac OS X that will allow me to mount the FreeBSD drives & partitions, and if not Am I able to hide this drive from Mac OS X so it doesn't complain every time I boot up? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBack Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I haven't tried this myself, but I believe that Chameleon 2.0-RC4 bootloader has a way to hide certain drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhetPhish Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks RedBack. I'm not really confident playing with the bootloader as I've only just got Mac OS installed and am worried I'll mess it up. Is there no way of doing this in Mac OS itself? I'm surprised that, being UNIX, it doesn't support another UNIX file system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
