speech Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 How can I add files to my os X install ? I can't boot very far, so I can only work in -s mode. I'd like to add files to System/Library/Extensions from USB hard drive, cd, dvd or USB stick. But, I'm not able to mount anything. My USB HD seems to be recognized because in /dev I can see it (disk1s1,2,3). Thanks for you help, I am doing progress every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 You may type "sh /etc/rc" to let your OSX compeletely boot in the singal mode w/ all kernel extensions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 What errors are you getting? Need to figure out at what point you're stuck. But the command would be something like mount_ntfs if it is an ntfs partition. And I think you'd need to mount your root filesystem r/w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speech Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 Great ! I got mount /dev/disk1s3 /mnt/temp --> incorrect super block. but with mount_ntfs no problem. Now I am able to download files from the internet and add it to my system. I have still bad issues with "VGA: family" but I'm working on it. @ Zero : I boot with -s aside from that it reboots or freezes, that depends on the existence of ATIRadeon9700 stuffs. (after VGA: family error). Thanks for your quick answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
