Adding alternate kernel support isn't hard to do. If chameleon can handle it of course...
i guess yes but i'm not sure. Is it possible to specify device path to the kernel inside boot.plist ?


--- Code: ---<key>Kernel</key>
<string>rd(0,0)/mach_kernel</string>

--- End code ---

Regarding "cd into the Extra Contents folder", this applications is designed for people who don't want and or can't use terminal.

"Extra Contents" is an alias as you've certainly noticed ;) Well thanks to point that out, i've replaced this by a symlink. So you should be able do cd into it just fine now. symlink isn't dynamic so i can't use this solution.

Bye.

BladeRunner:
Chameleon cdboot can support an alternate kernel.  This is the code in my current preboot cd.

--- Code: ---    <key>Kernel</key>
    <string>rd(0,0)/mach_kernel.432</string>

--- End code ---
Which is located at:

--- Code: ---lrh ~ $ ls -al /Volumes/Preboot/Extra/
total 224
drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel     204 Sep  7 10:18 .
drwxr-xr-x  11 root  wheel     442 Sep  7 09:44 ..

-rw-r--r--@  1 root  wheel    1773 Mar 27 14:59 smbios.plist

--- End code ---
and the kernel is located in the Preboot.dmg at the same level as the Preboot/Extra folder.

--- Code: ---lrh ~ $ ls -al /Volumes/Preboot/

--- End code ---
The mach_kernel simlink is not required, but it is what I use on my primary system to support running VMware-Fusion and I just copied the same setup to the preboot cd.

I look forward to trying the next release of your app.  Thanks for sharing.

CHOPPER:
I Have just changed my Dvd drive form a ide to a sata 1 and now its working fine,  I get about 15-20 Ebios error warnings before it boots into the Chameleon gui apart from that it boots retail and hdd fine.

Thanks for a great app
