Installing 2.0 RC3 from within ubuntu
« on: November 06, 2009, 05:36:06 AM »
Hi Folks,

I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere, I couldn't find anything through search. I am trying to install Chameleon onto a usb drive with the Mac Install image on it from within Ubuntu. The image has already been installed from within mac os x, but unfortunately I don't have access to it at the moment. The readme states to start out with this command: " sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0", however the linux version of fdisk does not include a -f parameter. Does anyone know of an alternate parameter or program to achieve the same effect? Sorry for the newbie question!

That's the OSX device numbering scheme, does Ubuntu use that or the more traditional linux sd(a...z)?

Here's what I used from a parted magic (slackware based) usb boot disk.

dd if=boot0 of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1

Do this to the base device without any numbers it's sda not sda1, sda2 etc.
