Chameleon + MBR ?

[mondial]

Hi gurus! My situation:

 

Bootloader Chameleon 2RC1, MAC1: OS 10.5.6; MAC2 not working

 

diskutil list

/dev/disk0

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *232.9 Gi disk0 ( == MBR)

1: Apple_HFS MAC1 116.6 Gi disk0s1 ( == journaled)

2: Apple_HFS MAC2 116.3 Gi disk0s2 ( == journaled)

 

Don't know why but my AMD box always boots to the second partition MAC2 by default which is not working. I always have to stop the bootprocess to change the partition to MAC1.

 

So what can I do to start automatically to Partition1? Can I delete Partition2 without any modification?. Where can I configure that bootoption? It is not depending on any of my /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist, cause I tried to change that already. How to modify the default Partition?

 

 

thanx in advance

Mondi

You need to flag the your first partition as active.

Chameleon normally does this automatically when you install it.

To do this manually, open terminal and type diskutil list and note the disk and partition numbers.

 

Then type sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (0 is your actual disk number, your post suggests it's 0) and type your password.

 

Type the following commands:

flag 1, where 1 is the partition you want to make active.

update

write, and answer with Y.

exit.

 

 

I'd go ahead and reinstall chameleon after this just in case.

Thanx bogdan, it worked. First had kp after some minutes, maybe on partition1 was chameleon 1 RC2 installed .... now I installed cham2RC2 and everything it looks fine . I think you ment I have to install chameleon before rebooting - yes I know my english is bad .... ;-)
