Eric.C Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 i know how to disable it, and i did, because i heard thats why com.apple.boot.plist keeps coming up with an error while trying to boot from dvd. but since my dvd drive is ide, i cant use it anymore, therefore cant install os x, does anyone have a solution to this?

Zulu.Walker Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Get an IDE-SATA converter or an IDE-USB converter. Worked for me. Better yet, get a native SATA Burner, but those cost a lot. There's no known workaround around this, sorry. PS. If you have the time, you can try the VMWare-to-Native install procedure. But you'd have to do this in Windows, and there are a lot more steps compared to installing OS X natively.

Zulu.Walker Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Dunno about booting off a DVD from a network, but it might work if you knew how. It's basically unheard of yet with OSX86, if it works you'll prolly be the first one. Let us know if it works, that'll be really cool if it does Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47160-need-to-disable-jmicron-controller/#findComment-338067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
