krappyz Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 well ok... i have 3 partitions on a 80gb drive... 1st partition has xp on it, 2nd has osx, and 3rd has Red Hat. Everytime i bootup my computer it goes to grub. I all I want to do now is to add OSX to grub. But i cant seem to figure out how to edit the grub.conf file to add osx to the grub bootloader menu... or any other way I would be able to choose between XP and OSX....

keith04 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Ok, I am also using grub, so i'll give ya some help... Its really not that hard if youve edited a grub list before... > Boot into your Linux Distro (Red Hat) > type 'cd /boot/grub' > start 'nano menu.lst' in super-user mode this is done either by typing "sudo nano menu.lst" if your account is set up for sudo, or by typing 'su', logging in as root, and then typing 'nano menu.lst' (The first method is considered better practice, but both work) > Add the following lines to the bottom of the file: title Mac OSX rootnoverify (hd0,2) makeactive chainloader +1 > I have assumed that your partitions are (in order) 0:Windows 1:Linux 2:Mac if this is incorrect, switch (hd0,2) to (hd0,PartitionNumber) also, if it is not on the first disk (hd0), use the correct disk number, ie: hd1 > Quit and save changes by pressing Ctr-X Y Enter > Reboot, and you should see Mac OSX on the list cheers, keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
