Gnu Grub

[adamworthy]

Hi,

 

I've just installed OS X86 10.4 and its been installed with GNU Grub.

 

I've just tried to boot it and its on the GNU Grub screen which I have no idea how to use, it just says Grub>

 

Any help with how to boot it?

 

Thanks

google is your friend, I'd tell you but I haven't used grub in ages, it's common though so google GRUB controls or soemthing like that

Yeah, i already did that but it didn't really help when i try to boot it says the kernel needs to be loaded.

if it has a bootloader in its boot sector, then specifying:

 

rootnoverify (hdx,y)

chainloader +1

boot

 

should get it going (replace x & y with your drive & partition number)

 

otherwise, you can drop the file "boot" from chameleon onto an accessible drive & specify that with:

 

kernel (hdx,y)/path/to/boot

boot

 

this should get you the bootloader screen and allow you to select your os x install.

OK, thanks.

 

I'll try it when I get home.
