Please beware that Apple might have a different interpretation for the term "bootable". It might very well be (as was for sure with pre-Intel Macs!) that the nice Apple boot selector only lists things looking Mac-like (i.e. looks like a Darwin kernel). [...some google searching...] Indeed, that seems to be the case: You need to boot from a HFS+ partition that is "blessed". A solution seems to be here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869324 Beware that if "blessing" is similar to that of classic MacOS, then it includes adding a small binary piece that is *not* free software. In other words, it may be illegal to publish SoaS as pre-blessed images. :-( - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkoZcuQACgkQn7DbMsAkQLjC1wCgh8v+TjGasKsNGHJNarJONbl1 U1UAn0rjHnFuaaVWKv3zLlS/qnriFqQL =1ldq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
