For Hackint0sh users

 

Having a copy of the Snow Leo 911 dmg, also a boot file and an Extra Directory in the root of your OS X partition are all a must for using this quick guide to get the image booting on you Hackint0sh.

 

1. Scan image for restore with disk utility, wait for the scan to complete.

2. Mount a USB stick 4GB is fine.

3. Partition the USB stick w/ GUID Partition scheme, format the partition HFS +.

4. Restore the Snow Leo 911 dmg to the formatted USB stick.Wait for the restore to complete.

5. Run a Chameleon RC4 installer package on the USB stick.wait for it to complete.

6. Open Terminal.app and log in to the root account.

7. Type in cp -Rf /boot && /Extra hit the spacebar and then drag and drop the mounted usb stick from the desktop into the terminal. Hit enter.

 

Thats it done. reboot and enjoy the 911 rescue drive

 

Here is a image of it booted on my i7 hack

P.S: Sorry if this was posted before but I found this image last night and it was only for macs. Found it easy to get working and thought I would share. Have fun and enjoy :blowup:

Thanks for the hint,

I am just retsoring the image to a flash drive.

But dont one also has to copy any non vanilla kexts from /S/L/E to the flash drive.

In my osx86 systems there are some kexts that have no effect when placed in /Extra, the have to be stored in /S/L/E.

 

cheers

Has anybody had any success with this method?

I successfully booted into Snow Leo 1.3, and installed Chameleon 2.0 RC4 using these commands:

sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0

sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2

sudo cp boot /

When I tried to run " cp -Rf /boot && /Extra ", Terminal gave back this error:

usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file

cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory

 

Any ideas?

 

BTW, does installing chameleon causes the USB stick to boot only from PCs? Or is it still usable on macs?

Isn't the boot folder located on System Reserved? I used Finder to copy and paste the Boot folder and the Extra folder separately to the USB stick, because I got the same error message you did.
