I'll admit I am a noob when it comes to OSX, but I have gone through many hours of reading guides, tutorials, forums, documentation and I still cant figure this out.
Im running a single XEON E5620, on a S5520SCR mobo with 12Gb ram and na Diamond ATI Radeon HD5770. I boot into OSX installer with iBoot, create 200Gb software raid 1 partition. So I have a drive list like this:
/dev/disk0
0: GUID partition scheme
1: EFI
2: Apple_RAID
3: Apple_Boot
/dev/disk1
0: GUID partition scheme
1: EFI
2: Apple_RAID
3: Apple_Boot
/dev/disk3
0: Apple_HFSX (Snow Leopard Install location)
Ive installed Boot0 to rdisk0 and rdisk1 and Boot1h into both Apple_Boot partitions (disk0s3, and disk1s3) and added Boot to both boot volumes (on disk0s3 and disk1s3)
Heres where the instructions fail me... i think.
I have to add a folder "Extra" to the root of both Apple_Boot partitions, and copy a com.apple.boot.plist into them. Do I copy that from the /library/preferences/systemconfiguration/boot.plist from the Snow leopard install drive or from the com.apple.boot.R/library/preferences/systemconfiguration/boot.plist?
I have added rd=uuid boot-uuid=xxxxxxxxx...blah blah to the plist.
I have tried so many different configurations, and what happens is I get the chameleon menu to select the partition to boot from enter PCIRootUID=1 (As I need to to boot from iBoot CD) and hit enter and... REBOOT!
What am I missing?
