RAID Boot
« on: July 26, 2009, 09:25:11 PM »
Hi I set up an Apple RAID Volume.
I installed CHameleon, and set it to EFI Install.

two questions... Kind Of...

How do I insert my own KEXT files ?

When I attempted to boot into it I did not even see the drive...

So What do I need to do Now ??

I saw these file Boot Boot0 etc in a seperate download with this expaination ...

 RAID Install:
  -------------
 
  Suppose that your installation is on /dev/disk3, which is either a mirror- or a
  stripeset consisting of /dev/disk0 and /dev/disk1

  Mac OS X creates a small helper partition at the end of each RAID member disk,
  namely /dev/disk0s3 and /dev/disk1s3
 
   - Install boot0 to the MBR of both disks:
        sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
        sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk1
 
   - Install boot1h to the bootsector of each boot partition:
        sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s3
        sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk1s3
 
   - Install boot to both helper partition's root directories.
        diskutil mount disk0s3
        cp boot /Volumes/Boot\ OSX
        diskutil unmount disk0s3
        diskutil mount disk1s3
        cp boot /Volumes/Boot\ OSX
        diskutil unmount disk1s3

Is this what I need to do ?
Why are these files seperate from the "Installer " ?

Sorry for questions...

Thanks...

Thanks..
