Sapam Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi, I did an install of OSX86 Tubgirl 10.4.10 yesterday and I want to share my experiences. I went for the following partition scheme: 80GB ATA ( 74.5GB actual ): - 15GB [NTFS] Windows XP - 50GB [Mac Ext Jour] OSX Tubgirl 10.4.10 - 9.5GB[FAT32] for data exchange from mac to xp 80GB SATA ( 76GB actual ) - 36GB [NTFS] Windows Games/Programs - 40GB [Mac Ext Jour] Mac Data ( to store my mac stuffs ) 80GB SATA ( 76GB actual ) - 76GN [NTFS] Data ( it contains all the Possible data i have, iso's , drivers, installer ) Note: As My OSX installation can detect SATA i can read data from the NTFS partition and my MAC Installer also lives there) How I did it: ( I have PS2Keyboard and USB Mouse, my USB Keyboard went for repairing ) 1) I nuked all the partitions i has in my IDE HDD during my XP installation and then created a partition of 15GB(NTFS) and installed XP in it. 2) Then, in XP I created the other two primary partition in my IDE HDD: 50GB & 9.5GB Note: I couldn't format the 50GB with FAT32 as you can't format a 50GB Fat32 partition so, i kept it unformated. 3) Put the OSX installer CD in and booted. - 1st boot - 45mins only see the apple screen and the spinning lines. - I rebooted after a complete shutdown (power off), even disconnected my SATAs ( coz' i was too paranoid ) - 2nd Boot - used -v to see the vervose and after 20 mins got in the installation menu ( phew... i was damn happy ) 4) Opened the "Disk Utility" and Tried to partition the 50GB. - Tried formating to OSX : Gave error that i don't have hte previledge to do so" - Then, tried formating it to FAT32: Gave error that FAT32 don't support formatting high capacity. - Then, formated with UNIX: worked this time - Formated with Mac Ext Journal: worked again :censored2: !!! i did that twice.... 5) Continued with the installation and choosed the following options: - Languages: Deselected - ...NV40: Selected - ...X11: Selected ( i think i don't need that ) 6) All went well until now... and i know the problem coming after that: - I have PS2 Keyboard and USB Mouse and I know i can't get my keyboard to work unless i modify /etc/rc - I Booted with Jas installer ( it loads up faster ) ... Nooooo .... the key board didn't work with the Tterminal. - Did complete shutdown and rebooted... Again.. keyboard not working.. - I used the TubGirl installer and booted ... booted faster this time but no keyboard. - Did a cold reboot and hit my keyboard keys again and again during the OSX installer bootup was displaying the messages. Just to see if my keyboard is working. And.. it worked... i got my keyboard detected. Also found the /etc/rc in the Volume where i installed OSX. - But where is the text editor? i couldn't find any text editor pico, nano etc... Damn... i was loosing my head. I tried running nano from the Mac Volume but gave some error. - Ran to my sister's home and borrowed her PS2 mouse - Now booted into OSX with PS2 mouse and PS2 keyboard. All wnet fine. - Once inside OSX I opened the terminal and modified the /etc/rc sudo nano /etc/rc# Near the end before the "exit" line I add the following lines: kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIn/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIn/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext Now, i rebooted with PS2Keyboard and USB mouse... and all worked.... I am glad it worked .... but no sound Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62885-my-experience-with-osx86-tubgirl-10410-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
