polle58 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have sucessfully installed leopard (thanks to zepyroth for the dvd release) I installed it on a separate sata disk, everything working fine, but I have a question about booting; I have 3 harddisks in my pc: 1 master sata gentoo linux with grub 2 pata with tiger 10.4.9 tubgirl 3 sata with leopard zepyroth dvd I can boot leopard on tow different ways: -booting I press F11, thenn I can choose to boot from the sata disk with leopard and that works fine. -I boot my master sata with grub installed, I added an entry for leopard (used boot_v5) that wotks whenI choose my entry" leopard" in the grub menu , I have a few seconds to stroke akey and to enter "82" to get my leopard booted from the sata harddisk. But what I want is to boot directly in to leopard without to enter the id for my harddis, Is it possible to edit boot_v5 to let it take my leopard disk as default?

If you have any unused disk space on disk 3, make a 2nd (it can be very small) partition there using a disk format readable by grub (i.e ext3) Then put boot_v5 there instead of in /boot Boot_v5 starts looking for hfsplus partition on whichever disk you booted it from Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78328-grub-and-leopard/#findComment-554672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
