Thanks for your replies. There are still issues that I feel, you might be the only one to explain. I am now using cdboot from RC2.
What I've done:
1. put this com.apple.Boot.plist to
/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//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>-v</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>600</string>
<key>Rescan Prompt</key>
<string>yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>
2. put this com.apple.Boot.plist to
/Extra folder in the mounted Preboot.dmg<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>DSDT</key>
<string>rd(0,0)/Extra/DSDT.aml</string>
</dict>
</plist>
3. what happens- burn disk and start composter with it
- 4 x ebios errors occur
- EBIOS read error: Error 0x01
- Block 13040 Sectors 64
- I suspect this error coming from the /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist because they appear BEFORE the Rescan Prompt is displayed
- and: even when I make the com.apple.Boot.plist XML1 conform by: plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.Boot.plist the errors still occur.
- "no ramdisk config" is displayed - what's that supposed to mean?
- after errors I can hit enter to get into Chameleon's GUI
- in GUI: I hit F8
- then change disks to Snow Leo Retail
- wait a couple of secs for the drive to stop spinning
- and hit ESC
- the disk is still epic_preboot and not Mac OS X Install
- and if I hit ENTER "Can't find mach_kernel" and get thrown back to GUI
hints?
Kudos, and ggtb...
