wozzinator Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Right now i'm trying to dual boot WinXP and MacOSx86 and I was wondering for the rd=disk#s# command if MacOSx86 is to be installed on the second partition does that mean that I should be setting it to rd=disk0s1? Another thing that came to mind is the unpartitioned part of my drive which I assumed was the boot sector of the drive and I was wondering whether that took up a spot in the rd=disk0s# command so that I'd have to switch the 1 to 2 for my OSx86 partition?
