I tried opendarwin 6.6.1 from CD on my PC yesterday. It was not problem to install but I can't boot it. For me it looks like there is something wrong with the boot partition.
I used very small boot partition (15MB) and a small root partition (1GB). Is this ok?
To verify the installation I would like use the root partition while booting from CD. Can somebody help me with the appropriate boot options?
Finally to fix the problem, is there any command I can use to reinstall the boot partition manually?
Cheers,
aanno
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I always use the default partition settings, which appears to be the problem here. It should be possible to fix the booting sequence in your booter app, but as a Darwin-only user, I'm definitely not an expert at that. You might want to post your question to one of the following forums.
