Comments for Setting up Haiku on Mac OS X - Pt. 1 at http://www.haikuware.com , comment 0 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.haikuware.com Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:04:14 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.haikuware.com/blogs/compiling-and-setting-up-haiku-on-mac-os-x-leopard-pt-1#pc_1048 Fortunately rewriting an entire ICH8/9 sata driver isn't necessary. The problem with the hard drive loading lies within the vendor ID reported by the macbook (and I presume the macbook pro?). Marcus had some code previously that would force the reported driver to SATA mode, but I don't believe that is currently enabled in the tree. Aside from that, fairly serious interrupt problems exist with the macbook setup, that may also be present in the macbook pro. - chrisjp Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:04:53 +0100 http://www.haikuware.com/blogs/compiling-and-setting-up-haiku-on-mac-os-x-leopard-pt-1#pc_1047 I used VM Fusion to install Haiku to my MBP. The first step is to use Bootcamp to prepare a parition for Windows, but without actually installing windows. VM Fusion allows mounting of a physical partition, so the VMX configuration file would list ide0:0 as a Haiku image file, and ide0:1 as the physical partition. Once you boot into Haiku/BeOS/Zeta, use Disk Setup to initialise the physical partition to BFS format, and then copy all the files from Haiku drive to the newly formatted BFS physical partition. Reboot, hold down the OPTION key, and select the Haiku partition, and Haiku will start booting. The boot process will fail at the 4th icon (mounting disks), probably due to lack of native SATA drivers in Haiku. From here you can either join in the coding effort and write a ICH8/9 SATA driver, or sponser a Haiku developer to write a driver. - zenja Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:51:03 +0100 http://www.haikuware.com/blogs/compiling-and-setting-up-haiku-on-mac-os-x-leopard-pt-1#pc_987 I hope you noticed that Haiku already has some preliminary support for EFI GPT partions - I could only test it with an image I got, and there is no official UUID for BFS partitions, but other than that, it should work. - axeld Mon, 26 May 2008 16:31:36 +0100
