I am trying to write a startup.nsh script to boot Win 8 on my MacBookPro5,5 but seem to be having a few issues. In order to boot Windows 8 I need to set a couple of the PCI registers to turn on my graphics card (I think this is common for many Mac models). I can manually type the required "mm 0010003E 8 -PCI" and "mm 02000004 7 -PCI" commands into the shell and then initialise Windows, however when I place these commands inside a script and execute the script I get various syntax errors with the mm command. I have tried numerous syntax variations to try and "brute crack" the right syntax including trying the suggestions within the help file ("help mm") but am lost for what I need to do to make it happy. Is there a different interpreter for scripts than there is for the shell ? Has anyone successfully written a Windows 8 boot script that incorporates mm commands ?
I guess if we can't work it out I might have to look at starting a crowdsource fund to get Rod a 64-bit EFI mac!
