beh Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 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? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/734-bootini-or-noroton-pqboot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 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" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/734-bootini-or-noroton-pqboot/#findComment-4409 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
