[Grml] grml and mactel

[Chaitat Piriyasatit]

I booted grml from the live cd on macmini.  I plugged an 8GB usb flash drive into the macmini.  I used grml2hd to install onto my flash drive.

I then rebooted macmini while the flash was plugged.  Refit saw my flash drive with a linux icon.  I chose to boot from that.  I failed.  The error message was something like cannot find OS to be loaded.

On which computer have you booted into grml? I assume you are trying to
install grml from a running grml?

Sweet.

Yeah, very nice.

Why? How do you come to this conclusion? What is not running?

Can you boot anything else than Mac OSX from refit? Have you tried a
GRML live cd?

I thought your USB device was shown in rEFIt?
