OldWorld Macintosh Computers

Posted by stuporglue on Mar 14, 2010 in Programming

OldWorld Macs can only (easily) boot into Mac OS. We’ll create a 50 Meg Mac OS partition with Mac OS7 installed on it for this stage. The computer boots to Mac OS. From Mac OS, you run BootX which boots Linux from within Mac OS. Mac OS can’t see the Linux partitions, so you must place a copy of the Kernel and initrd (initial RAM disk) on the Mac partition.
