Hi,

I have been trying to get Mac booting working but I am struggling to jump the 
first hurdle - namely having the Mac recognise the USB drive as a bootable 
device. I have used ALT on boot to list the bootable drives on both a Mac Mini 
and a PowerMac desktop machine but neither recognise a USB stick created with 
livecd-tools. In fact after booting from the drive MacOSX informs me that the 
drive isn't initialised and wants me to format it. Checking the partitions in 
Linux they are laid out as expected with a bootable EFI partition vfat 
formatted.

I gave up on EFI booting and even tried a classic MBR install with rEFIt but 
still the USB drive is never detected. Is there another trick I'm missing here 
or does USB booting only work on a very small subset of Intel Mac models? The 
recent EFI+MBR work looks interesting but like I said I can't even get that far.

Regards,

Daire
