Does any one know how to add Apple OS X86 to the boot.ini file. Here is what mine looks like:

[boot loader]

timeout=0

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect

 

Assuming Apple is on the Partition(2), how could it be added to boot properly?

 

How about Norton PQBoot? Has anyone tried this?

I've successfully chainloaded OpenBSD from the NT bootloader using a copy of the partition boot record.

 

I think the command you'll want is sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s2 of=osx.pbr bs=512 count=1 then move osx.pbr to Windows C:\ and add an entry like multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\osx.pbr="OSX"

Using this method requires moving files from the partion, I can not boot the partion, any suggestions?

 

I tried with VMware but my cdrom does not work correctly, ie: I can not write files.

 

For some reason usb is not recognized in vmware.

 

Also is it possible to boot the partion with vmware instead of the image?
