larrybird Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I tried increasing the partition size from the default 6 gigs by booting from an external Firewire drive and "restoring" the image used to boot off my internal drive to the 2nd partition. I made the 2nd partition bootable through cfdisk and left the first partition bootable as well. Both installations showed up in the Darwin bootloader. I can boot either one without a problem. So, I erased the entire drive and "restored" the same image from the internal hard drive on the Firewire drive back to the main drive. Now when I start up, I get "This hardware configuration is not supported by Darwin/x86 (3)." I'm going to try and dd the image back to the drive and start over. Has anyone else had this happen? I tried searching for some of those keywords but nothing showed up.

jrrjrr Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I tried the same thing basically, and also received the not supported hardware message when trying to boot the restored version. I'd also be curious if anyone got past this. I ended up just making a second partition for OSX to use, along side the original 6 gig one. Seems like most all applications can be installed to a "non-system" partition.

larrybird Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=2347 Except that requires two separate partitions. From the way the PDF is written, it sounds like the author expects the user to boot into one or the other partition. Isn't there a way to expand the initial 6 gig partition by using 2 hard drives so that way the root drive can be larger than 6 without having another partition?
