Hello all,

 

I just recently installed the Kalyway distro of Leo and afterwards I installed Vista to dual boot. I installed EasyBCD 1.7.1 and choose to add the OSX entry, but on closer inspection the Booter loader path is: Bootloader Path: \NST\nst_mac.mbr

 

The difference is that I formatted the hard drive with guid and used the EFI vanilla to load my Leo. Now I get the HFS+ error when I try to boot into Leo. Any ideas on what the bootloader path should be for a guid install?

 

Thanks,

 

A.

I don't think it works with GUID.

 

I have 2 hard drives, both MBR, one with Vista(NTFS)/Storage(FAT32) and other one with Leopard(HFS+). I already have Vista installed, so before installing Leopard, I set hdd to FAT32 (to make sure it's MBR) and flagged it bootable with GParted Live CD, later formatted it to HFS+ with Disc Utility & installed Leopard. On this stage I could select which hard drive to boot pressing F12 during start up. Since it's not very convenient, I installed EasyBCD. Then I added entry for Leopard in Mac OS X (generic x86) and manually selected drive number 1 & partition 1 (since it uses second SATA port & only has 1 partition. Everything is working great, by default my computer automatically boots into Leopard; however, if needed I can boot into Vista. :P

It could work if you install NeoGrub, then inside of menu.lst add the following lines

 

title Mac OS X Leopard on GUID

kernel (hd0,0)/NST/boot_v8

 

 

in the first line you can anything you want to display in the boot menu.

 

on the sencond line "(hd0,0)" could be different, "hd0" = first disk then the other "0" is the first partition.

I did everything you said... when I chose OSX in Neogrub I got this message (or something close)

 

-Going with default HD at 80

When I did that it looped back and took my back to the BCD load... so I chose Neogrub again

-Went with second HD at 81 as it suggested

When I did that it said it couldn't find my apple.boot.plist

 

Any ideas?
