likonvampire Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have an IBM T43 with ubuntu 8.10 installed in it. I had Mac Osx 10.5.1 installed on it earlier and want to go back to it but this time in dual boot scenario . I have a partition free for the installation . My question the last time i installed the OS , i used Mbr bootloader option , how should i go with the installation so that i can add the Osx boot option to Grub and not mess my linux install . I used this post to install Mac Osx on my drive ( my personal blog) http://hartejsidhu.wordpress.com/2009/03/0...onto-a-ibm-t43/ . Please help Thanks ..

cybercow Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 hallo, you should have no problems, 1. install osx then linux, and adjust grub, you may want to visit this url: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le_And_Accurate -> in short terms you should edit /boot/grub/menu.lst on your ubuntu install and make the right config params.

Thanks for the link you gave me . I already have the linux installed on my system . I would like to install OSX and restore Grub from the Live Cd and add the OSX entry .
