IonT Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm trying to make a Boot132 Disc to boot the retail Snow Leopard Disc. I have the bootloader binaries, kexts, boot information file. But i have no idea on how to make the initrd.img, Any Ideas? Don't give me linux instructions, I don't understand what to do. Win7 and OSX instructions only please.

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 But i have no idea on how to make the initrd.img, Any Ideas? Heh...just grab one from any random boot-132 CD image? Always go to the source: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113288 However, you might want to use this instead: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/...31.html#msg2131 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/245789-snow-leopard-retail-boot132-disc/#findComment-1632579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonT Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 The boot132 disk's done. then I decided modify the iATKOS s3 Disk to perfectly match my configuration. I saw that i have to build a new iso to do that, can anyone suggest any tool with which I can make a bootable HFS+/ISO9660 hybrid ISO?

Gringo Vermelho Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Why are you wasting time with a hacked install DVD now that you have a CD that can boot a retail DVD?

Gringo Vermelho Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I don't know how to make a hacked install DVD and I don't understand why you would want to when anyone with compatible hardware can install retail OS X with just a suitable boot CD. To me, hacked install DVDs are obsolete, a thing of the past. IMHO it would be better for everyone if you invested your time and energy in building boot CDs. How about a package containing: Intel ICHx chipset boot CD (easy) nForce chipset boot CD (less easy) AMD/ATI chipset boot CD (difficult!) And seperate versions of each for users with ATI, nvidia and on-board Intel GMA video. Or, instead of boot CDs, a series of bootable flash drive retail installers.

Dt's nt a bad idea, but I've already made boot discs for lots boards like Intel (D945GCL, D945GCNL, DG31PR), Gigabyte GA945GCMX-S2, Asus P5Kl-AM/PS Just give me the full specs including Audio, Video, Ethernet, WiFi, Chipset, Processor Capabilities nd I'll make you the boot CD (If its an intel chipset of course).
