DeadA Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi everybody there! I tried to install the OSx86 onto one of my usb mass storage drives. Everything went well. I made the modification of my windows bootloader, i choose the MAC osx, it started to boot, but stopped at a screen, where (maybe) the darwin asks me to choose the disk, from where i want to boot. I had only one choice of course, so it was easy to choose. But i always get this screen back. I tried with -v, -x etc. But nothing happens, always this screen. What should i do? (I would like to have a multiboot system, and i have usb mass storage drives (and a lot of other "built-in" hdd in my computer already). K8N + AMD64 3200+ + ATI RADEON 9600PRO) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1940-always-getting-back-to-the-darwin-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcanadian Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Does it flash an error when before you're back to choosing the disk? Mine flashes one really quick: Error parsing plist fileloading Darwin/x86, and then it shoots me back to the Darwin boot screen.

DeadA Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 I found out what did i wrong. I was sooo stupid. The image file was uncompressed to a FAT32 partition, and was only 4 gb big, the whole one is almost 6. That was the problem. Now i always have to reboot Maybe it is because i want to boot from an usb storage drive, and it doesn't like my usb? Hmm, i found an almost same config in the HCL and with it, everything was went well.
