Haiku on Intel-Mac **without** virtual machine?

Forum thread started by xanadujuun on Sun, 2007-08-19 04:03

I just got Haiku running with VMWare, but I'd rather boot straight into it with bootcamp or something similar.

Is this possible?

With bootcamp, this probably is possible; bootcamp emulates a bios. What I'd do is just dd the image onto the partition.

Well, I wouldn't do this without double, triple checking all steps, but...

Make a new partition with bootcamp, as if you're about to install windows. Then, use the command 'mount' in the terminal to found the mounted partitions; not the '/dev/'... filename that corresponds with the disk you chose. Then do a 'sudo dd if=haiku.image of=/dev/ads...', where /dev/ads... is the filename you noted before.

Mac user since 1984, i'm also highly interested in this Operating System! iIt could be great to launch Haïku with Bootcamp.

Haïku Rules! You rules!

I'm still not sure my 'method' actually works! `eek`
