SChief Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 First I had some problems with the install cd (Kalyway 10.5.2), the solution was downloading the Chameleon JMicron IDE DVD ppf patch for Kalyway 10.5.2, patching the .iso with PPF-O-Matic V3, and burn it on a DVD. The install was succesfull. But ofcourse, the installer has written EFI over the Chameleon patch. Now it's on the harddrive (OSX86) but it won't boot up, because of the same reasons the install cd won't boot up (my P4 doesn't want to work with EFI). So in the comments of the JMicron IDE DVD ppf patch for Kalyway 10.5.2 section on the Chameleon site, someone asked how he could get it on his HDD so OSX86 can boot up. The answer of Zef was that hé needed to download Chameleon-1.0.11-build.tar.gz from his site, and install it with a Terminal via the Install DVD. What Zef said: " Please download Chameleon-1.0.11-build.tar.gz from the Top Downloads section then open the Readme file inside Btw installation takes only 3 steps: Let’s say that your installation is on /dev/disk0s2. Open a Terminal window and cd to the extracted location. 1. Install boot0 to the MBR: sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0 2. Install boot1h to the partition’s bootsector: sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 bs=512 count=2 3. Install boot to the partition’s root directory: sudo cp boot / Now you can reboot your OS with Chameleon installed." Now my question is, where do I need to put the Chameleon-1.0.11-build.tar.gz so I can install it via the Terminal..? Thanks, a Mac-noob.

Gujal Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 you need Chameleon bootloader extracted on to a NFS+ formatted USB Flash Disk which will be available in Terminal.APP under /Volumes/<volname of disk> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120167-where-to-place-chameleon-1011-buildtar/#findComment-856111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SChief Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 So I just pick a USB Stick, format it with *need to find a program*, place the files from the map (APPLE_License, boot, boot0, boot1h, BootHelp, cdboot, fdisk, README), then start the Kalyway 10.5.2 cd again, open a Terminal, type /Volumes/<name of disk> and then follow the steps in my startpost..? I'm going to try it right away. Nice to finally find someone that wants to help me.

Gujal Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yep, that is right. And you can format the USB stick as HFS+ using OSX Diskutility Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120167-where-to-place-chameleon-1011-buildtar/#findComment-856982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SChief Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Okey then, thanks for the information. Too bad I have another problem now. I f*cked up my Vista installation.
