Synaesthesia Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Boot from the Mac OS DVD. Format your linux partition to hfs+ and install the Mac OS (make sure it's Active + Primary) Then once it is installed, from Mac OS X, edit boot.plist by typing the following in terminal: sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Insert something like this <key>Timeout</key> <string>8</string> Then push ctrl-x to quit, and save. Or use this guide to dual boot with grub Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58674-booting/#findComment-418627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
