the empty calorie Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hello, I am using the deadmoo image attempting to run OS X natively, and so far I have tried two methods, neither have worked. First method: dd if=./tiger-flat-x86.img of=/dev/hdb This is after I used cfdisk to set up a 6.5G partition of type "AF" on the second hard drive. No luck. Results in "Boot failure" Second method: dd if=./tiger-flat--x86.img of=/dev/hda4 skip=63 Copyng to partition type "AF" on my primary hard drive, then using GRUB to attempt to boot it. GRUB doesn't want to boot it.. I'm not even getting this Darwin screen I've heard about. What exactly is going wrong here? System is a Intel D850MV board with a 1710MHz Pentium 4, running Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge) as it's primary OS.

cyrana Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I usually use slightly different syntax: dd if=./tiger-flat-x86.img of=/dev/hda2 ibs=512 obs=1M skip=63 Or this if you are using the original .bz2 file: ar -jOxf tiger-x86.tar.bz2 tiger-x86/tiger-x86-flat.img | dd of=/dev/hda2 ibs=512 obs=1M skip=63 Obviously need whatever the real partition name is, though.
