Rockviech Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hey guys, i got 10.4.4 install dvd working, without any problem here the instructions start dvd (mac os x 10.4.4 install dvd) start disk util, erase(format) whole harddrive with mac os x journald (which u want to install mac os x on it) after erasing, quit disk util quit installation restart start dvd(mac os x 10.4.4 install dvd) again install mac os x 10.4.4 without the addition stuff, only basic system and "we stole it sucker" after installation, restart press f8 to get to the boot promt type rd=disk0s2 -x and it works, its pretty fast, needs 10 sekonds to boot here (p4 3,0ghz, 1024ddram) took me 30 minutes to complete this whole installation the only thing is the boot.plist, dunno how to start it without dvd, but with dvd it works perfect hope this helps someone who has problems with starting mac os x with dvd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10836-got-1044-install-dvd-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockviech Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 rd=disk0s2 no -x not needed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10836-got-1044-install-dvd-working/#findComment-68017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabemcg Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I followed these instructions to a T... I press F8 and then type RD=Disk0s2 and hit enter... It continues to boot from the DVD... any Ideas? I'm about to go over to a friends house to use his mac to burn a Darwine boot CD... anything else I should try first? I've already tried the "Hiren's boot cd" using "boot star" to no avail, I can select the proper drive, but it just reboots the system...

gabemcg Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Ha HA !!! It appears to be working! very slowly mind you, but It seems that it is infact booting!!!!!! This is historic! It just played a cool sound! so I know sound works! It's now @ a blue screen, and every few seconds I see the mouse cursor and that little circle thing with the slases that normally spins when you are shutting down... It's been a few min @ this screen, I'll give it some more time, as it seems to be doing something.... thanks for the help, I'm soo close... I can taste it... tastes like a granny smith...or a Macintosh...

gabemcg Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 It seems my initial hopes that I finally got it right were wrong... After watcing the blue screen flash for a while, I rebooted, and did the same thing, this time, however, I typed -v after the rd=disk0s2 command. I now see that while the blue screen was flahing this is what was happening: localost Crashdump[393]:Setup Assistant Crashed Crash report written to: /Library/logs/crashreporter/setupassistant.crash.log :system/Library/coreservices/login window app/contents/macOS/loginwindow: Login Window Application started for some reason, it won't load the login window... any Ideas???

Rockviech Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 so gabemcg, you get a blue screen with a spinning circle, which doesnt stop? maybe your partition is wrong try rd=disk0s1 or rd=disk0 else you can try to boot in single user mode with -x maybe i understood you wrong, my bad englisch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10836-got-1044-install-dvd-working/#findComment-68416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModeZt Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 "we stole it sucker" what does that mean? I guess it works only with native Intel SSE3 processors?

Rockviech Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 what does that mean? I guess it works only with native Intel SSE3 processors? these are the maxxuss files i think tested it only on a p4 3,0ghz SSE3, dunno but i think it works on SSE2 too (saw patches for sse2, amd and so on on the dvd!)

ModeZt Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 hm.. strange.. you mean there are patches already on the install DVD? was it labled as "patched" ? I've downloaded some 10.4.4 install dvd marked HOTiSO but i don't know if there are patches on it.. so i'm downloading 10.4.3 at the time..

esc2 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 "we stole it sucker"what does that mean? Apple confirmed Thursday it has included such a warning in its Intel-based computers since it started selling them in January. The embedded poem reads: "Your karma check for today: There once was a user that whined/his existing OS was so blind/he'd do better to pirate/an OS that ran great/but found his hardware declined./Please don't steal Mac OS!/Really, that's way uncool./© Apple Computer, Inc." Apple also put in a separate hidden message, "Don't Steal Mac OS X.kext," in another spot for would-be hackers. "We can confirm that this text is built into our products," Apple issued in a statement. "Hopefully it, and many other legal warnings, will remind people that they should not steal Mac OS X." http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/ptech/02/17/a...hacker.poem.ap/ I suppose the "we stole it sucker" module is a message to Apple. Anyone check to see if Maxxuss wrote a poem there?

Juggernaut Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Wow it works! what does the rd=disk0s2 command do? Or what kind of command is it? is there a trick so i dont have to enter it every time? Like overwriting the System config /com.apple.Boot.plist with a working one?

jim_starman Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 so, I haven't touched any OSX installing stuff, since its seemed a little to complex and not worth it so far Is it a whole lot easier with this DVD? I have an Opteron 165 dual core with SSE3 on an Nforce3 mobo. Can I just burn the HotISO DVD, boot up and install it as described in the first post? Seems too good to be true.

pigeon107 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 im up and running only thing that doesnt work is my onboard ethernet MSI MATX 915GLM celeron 2.53, shows up as 3 ghz haha SATA hd i had to use the rd=disk0s2 or whatever it was, but then it worked perefectly. i tihnk all this command is doing is telling the bootloader where to boot from? seems like we should be able to edit something to make that default. trying holding down option on startup does anyone know of a pci ethernet that just works? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10836-got-1044-install-dvd-working/#findComment-69439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Got mine running on a: MSI 845 Ultra-C P4 1,6Ghz Had to use that command to and the dvd has to be in the drive. Otherwise it says boot.apple.com.list not found or something like that. It would be great if it booted just by pressing power But well that will be a thing in the future i think (A) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10836-got-1044-install-dvd-working/#findComment-69495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
