amru's Ultimate Dualboot; OS X install Thread

by amru Fri Nov 14, 2008 1:02 pm

Before I start I'd like to say thanks to the creator[s] of the msiwind distro and the following forums and

their respective members for either helping me or pointing me in the right direction, whether directly

or not.

s10lenovo.com

insanelymac.com

netbooktech.com

msiwind.net

osx86.thefreesuite.com

Credits go to everyone who created the files and so on, I did nothing but compile and install

everything, thus creating this procedure of my experience.

This guide [like many others] covers the installation of the msiwind distro on a Lenovo S10. It is to help

fellow enthusiasts that want to install a second OS on their system. Remember, if you like OSX, go buy

it! Also as a reminder, this guide is a dual-boot guide [assuming XP is already installed], though Im

sure you can figure out how to do a single-boot method from this. There are MANY diffrent ways to go

about doing this.. this is just what I did.

Neither I nor any of the forums listed above are to be held responsible for anything that happens

[negative or not]... and know that you are... proceeding at your own risk.

Now that I got that out of the way, lets start!!

The first thing I did was uninstall OKR [one key recovery], so for those of you looking for that option, it

should be that same, but with 3 partitions. One for XP, one for OKR, and one for OSX.

Here are my 2 partitions. Yes, XP was converted to NFTS from the default FAT32 using partition magic

8, which was graciously provided by my boss. Also you wont see the 3rd default EISA 7GB partition,

which I deleted. Keep in mind you want to format the OSX volume as NTFS and name it whatever you

want it to be called, itll show up later in disk utility.


2/36

I named mine "osx" and partitioned it equally w/ XP

Shut down windows. This next step requires the msiwindosx.iso burnt as well as an external DVD player

ready to go.


3/36

Turn the computer on while tapping F12 [Fn+F11] so it gives boot options. Choose the external drive

and press enter when prompted with OSX disc. It'll now go through loading everything it needs so dont

worry just wait a bit


4/36

Here is a shot of the S10 w/ my 22". Doesnt the 22 look massive? Yikes, like a regular laptop to a big

screen Plasma almost. Hah.


5/36

Once darwinx86 is done loading everything, it'll go through the regular OSX install prompts, so just

follow them for the most part. I have pics just incase


6/36


7/36

When the OSX installer loads, select "Utilities" followed by 'Disk Utility"


8/36


9/36


10/36

Once you do that you'll see you HDD and 2 partitions. One disk0s1, which is your XP partition and the

other one for OSX


11/36

Select your OSX HDD [osx in my case] and select the erase tab. then from the volume format drop down

menu choose Extended Journaled and proceed to erase.


12/36


13/36

After thats done, let it continue w/ your OSX install. Agree to the prompt, then select the partition

you want to install it on [osx for me]


14/36


15/36


16/36


17/36

Itll want to check your installation disk first, followed by the installation. Go take a break... this'll

take a while, but make sure the laptop is plugged in!!


18/36


19/36


20/36

Once done, it'll restart... and you'll probably end up getting a HFS+ partition error upon boot like me. If

you dont, just skip to the bottom, otherwise read on

Kill the computer and start it while tapping F12 and boot the DVD install disk again. Itll go through its

whole sequence and once you get to the OSX installer, select Utilities > Terminal from the bar at the

top.


21/36

and type (without quotes)

fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0

When you press enter it'll ask if you're sure you want to mess w/ it [i'm not quite sure what it asks since

I dont have pics or remember it well, but it's something w/ boot record lol]. Anyway say, "Hell yea I

wanna mess w/ it... I didnt come this far to be stopped

Once thats done Kill the computer [if it hasnt restarted] and turn it on again... now the Darwin boot

loader should start up fine

At this point you should be able to get into XP with out a problem when selected from the Darwin

screen, but when you choose OSX, you'll end up in an endless loop when you get to the migration

assistant/file transfer screen.

The next steps are to bypass it, but be careful while you type it, and recheck before you press enter

just incase.The only reason Im giving a heads up is because I had to do this THREE bloody times to

get it right... the only reason I even caught my mistake and didnt give up was because I had pics as

documentation of my steps. And its upon seeing those pics I realized I had stupid mistakes like a

period here or there or a spelling mistake. -__-

Ready? Lets go.

So were at the Darwin screen where it asks you to choose an OS.

Type this (without quote)

-s


22/36

Followed by

/sbin/fsck fy


23/36


24/36

After that type

/sbin/mount uw /


25/36


26/36

Now type

cd /Volumes/****/var/db/

* = this is your volume name, which is osx in my case. If you dont remember what you named it,

check by looking back before you typed in the /mount command. It should say The volume

*your.volume.name.here* appears to be ok


27/36

Type

touch .AppleSetupDone


28/36

Now, well be creating a password for the root account, so make sure you remember this. I made it the

same as my usual login password.

Type

passwd


29/36

Itll now ask you to enter your password, and re-enter it. Dont worry, the cursor doesnt move, so its

not frozen or anything


30/36

We are done here so now all we have to do is to type

exit


31/36

Once that is done, itll logout, restart, do its thing and go straight to the logon screen!


32/36

This is where you type root as the account name and whatever password you choose earlier. Once

you do that itll log you in.


33/36

Now, the first thing you want t do is to create an Administrator account for yourself (dont use root..

not to good of an idea)

I went to system preferences > accounts > and created myself a new admin account. Once I did that, I

logged out of root and logged back in as amru


34/36

Now that we have the OS installed and can boot to it fine (test it out! Restart a couple times

alternating the OSs), well move on the next step of getting stuff to work like wifi, video, audio etc.


35/36

first thing we'll tackle. WIFI and updates.

download the attached bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.1pre.sh file and unzip it to the desktop [its the easiest

this way]bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.1pre.sh.zip

Open Terminal (applications > Utilities > Terminal) and drag the unzipped file into the Terminal

window. It'll tell you straight up what you need to type to run it. Type that and your password and exit

terminal.

Now reboot. Once you restart you airport should be on and it *should* detect a WAP, if not make sure

your SSID is broadcasting, or just type it in manually like I did. If you cant get it to work... justtroubleshoot it further since airport should be on now and that problem was solved.

Now head over to the software update and let it run, and once again make sure you have it plugged in.

After its done it'll restart and you'll log back in and probably notice not only is the wifi dead, but the

grapix are now at 800x600 instead of the previous 1024x600. Re-install the WiFi like you did earlier.

Once you have that we'll move on to updating the grapix.

DL the attached 0x27e.zip and unzip/install the 2 files [AppleIntelGMA950.kext and

AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext] using the > *ktext helper b7* *Miglos .kexts*


36/36

did, while restarting between each step.

1. Delete the AppleHDA.kext from /extensions [I put the backup in my "Backup Extensions" folder]

2. Install AzaliaAudio.pkg > *AzaliaAudio* *Apple Developer Tools*
