Iksam Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 hi guys! i´ve just installed mac os (10.4.5) into a partition of an external HD and i can´t boot mac os. I´ve tried with grub, but it says "unit doesn´t exists". Mac partition is primary and it´s activated (see attached file). Any suggestion? Thanks a lot for all!

BladeRunner Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Is the external drive your only OSX system? If so, I don't know how to help you. If you had even a small partition with a darwin boot loader on your main hard drive then you should be able to boot your external system. To do that you would select the darwin loader - press F8 to get the darwin prompt and them enter "mach_kernel rd=disk1s1" <- assuming your external drive would map as your second drive and the system is installed in the first partition on that drive. Anyway, good luck in your efforts. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33648-boot-from-usb-hd/#findComment-238224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
