Jdhore Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 hi all, i'm having a bit of a problem here, i installed OSx86 10.4.7 on my HD (pre partitioned) and then installed Debian Etch/Testing/4.0 to the 2nd partition on my hard drive...of course it installed grub, but when i rebooted, all i had in Grub were the Linux entries, nothing for OSx...can i somehow add a few lines to my Grub meny.lst and be able to get back into OSx or did i totally screw myself? my OSx partition is /dev/hda1...if it's possible to load OSx from Grub, i'd REALLY appreciate it if someone could post the couple of lines i have to add to get it to work. Thanking you all in advance for your help JD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41275-please-help-osx86-grub/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed from the JaS DVD on top of a machine running XP and Linux. Grub works a treat. my OSx partition is /dev/hda1...if it's possible to load OSx from Grub, i'd REALLY appreciate it if someone could post the couple of lines i have to add to get it to work. Thanking you all in advance for your help JD Did ya' check google? I did, used "osx86 grub" and found this example under the first hit: title OSX at (hd0,0) root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot My own setup, I didn't use the last part and it's working fine. Adjust for your setup as needed. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41275-please-help-osx86-grub/#findComment-295140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvornik Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) I don't think it's easy to find in Google. I've read so many conflicting instructions. I also didn't use the last line ("boot"). And perhaps there's even no need to makeactive - it might be active as it is in this particular case. Mine is on a second partition with Windows on first, so I needed to make it active.
