toh leopard rc2 9a581 succesfull install

[fleee]

okay it worked out,while i hardly knew what i was doing there,but thanks to this forum it workd out.

my way is messy, cause i don't know what i am doing,but it works for me

okay i have 2 hard disks in that laptop and when the pc starts up i can qickly

press f2 and choose from wich he wants to start up or i can choose also to start up from dvd-drive.

so i start up from toh-dvd , hit f8 and type -v-x

after a long time finally the leopard installer starts up

(vakakush installation instructions helpd me now)

 

i click for disk utilityn,choose my 2nd partition

format hard disk as mac os extended(journaled)

click erase

after this i choose the tab partition and select volume scheme (1 partition)

and in volume information i type Leopard (not leopard) -> L

click option ans select master boot record

click apply

go out of disk utility to go on with installation

select the Volume Leopard

and before the final hit choose customize and deselect

additional fonts,language translations

install leopard.

after instal i restart the pc and start up again on the toh install dvd.

hit f8 type\-v-x

when install disk finally loads,go to utillities and select terminal

type diskutil list

u will see than your volume name (Leopard) and the diskidentifier (e.g. disk1s1) this was my id

type now

diskutil unmount diskXsx

the x you have to replace with your own numbers

type /usr/misc/script.sh Leopard

now when i restart and choos for my 2nd disk on wich i installed Leopard i just got the blinking cursor

so i started up again from install-dvd and from now on the profs might laugh,but i just tried things out

i repaired the disk an disk permissions

i go again to the terminal and type again:

/usr/misc/script.sh Leopard

i unmount the disk with typing

diskutil unmount diskxsx

type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskx (x=disknumber, mine was 1) (1 space between e and /, i made the mistake first, and typed: fdisk -e/dev rdiskx instead - press enter

p -press enter

f 1 (space between f and 1 ) -press enter

write - press enter

y -press enter

exit -press enter

now i install that script again, type

/usr/misc/script.sh Leopad

type:

diskutil unmount diskxsx

type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskx (x=disknumber, mine was 1) (1 space between e and /, i made the mistake first, and typed: fdisk -e/dev rdiskx instead - press enter

p -press enter

f 1 (space between f and 1 ) -press enter

write - press enter

y -press enter

exit -press enter

now i reboot and choose my 2nd hard disk and i really had to be quick hittin f8 while booting

type: -legacy and press enter

now i think your leopard should boot

now go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

and click get info click the padlock button below and enter your root password when prompted then click the "+" icon and add your user account giving it read+write permission then click ok..

now open it and similarly change the permission of

com.apple.Boot.plist

 

and add -legacy to last line<string><string>

it should look like this

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>-legacy</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

now close it and open the disk utility

choose leopard and click repair disk permissions

after the disk permission repair is complete reboot.

When your computer reboots this time, you're ready.

 

now i can choose if i want to load vista or leopard

 

i have in leopard no sound and just a low resolution

i hope someone can help me with that:

i attached a pic of my system
