I'm interested in setting boot options in grub for MAC OS X. Here's the deal: I have gentoo linux installed on /dev/hda4 and I have MAC OS X instlled on /dev/hdb3 and here's my grub.conf

Quote:
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 30

title=Gentoo-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
root(hd0,2) #tells grub where to find the kernel to boot
kernel /kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 root=/dev/hda4

title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


What do I need to change in order that MAC OS X will appear in my boot options?

Can I assume its OS X86?

This should work, from memory:

Code:
title=Macintosh OS X86
rootnoverify (hd1,2)
makeactive


That tells it to just boot from drive two, partition three without checking for what might be there. It worked fine for me when I played with OS X86 a while back.

I used that and it isn't working. It does not boot!

Look at this:
Quote:
eleanor@localhost ~ $ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 30

title=Gentoo-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
root(hd0,2) #tells grub where to find the kernel to boot
kernel /kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 root=/dev/hda4

title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

title=Macintosh OS X86
rootnoverify (hd1,2)
makeactive
savedefault
chainloader +1
boot


And the error is:
Quote:
Booting 'Macintosh OS X86'
rootnoverify (hd1,2)
makeactive
savedefault
Error 15, file not found...
