If anyone else is interested, I put together a boot helper for
 +
Mirabelle. Burned to a CD, it enabled booting a USB stick on my
 +
MacBook Pro. The stick was partitioned with the plain old MBR format
 +
and labeled "FEDORA". I also got both VMware Fusion and VirtualBox to
 +
boot the USB stick using this boot helper ISO. The soas-2-boot ISO
 +
sort of works with Mirabelle sticks, but they have different kernel
 +
versions so modules don't load, thus no networking. That is fixed in
 +
this build.

*'''Be certain to disable OLPC-security first as per the instructions.''' You can control this, when Open firmware prompts: "No WP Tag" it means "is already disabled".

* Connect your device to the OLPC
−
* Note: Be sure to plug in your laptop using it AC charger to ensure that the installation process is completed. (The firmware will not be updated under battery power.)
+
* Boot while holding down the "checkmark button".
 +
When Open Firmware counts down 3 seconds "...before automatic startup", push the "escape button", to get to the "OK" Open Firmware prompt.
 +
 
 +
:* If the files were downloaded onto an USB stick:
 +
type
 +
{{Code|probe-usb}}
 +
Press Enter.
 +
Control if Open Firmware has detected your device. (A "found" usb when probing, e.g., usb:/***/disk means you have to name it in the command: {{Code|copy-nand disk:\os***py.img}})
 +
Then type
 +
{{Code|copy-nand usb:\os***py.img}}
 +
and press Enter.
 +
(note: replace *** with your actual versionnumber/filename.)
 +
 
 +
:* If the files were downloaded onto a SD card:
 +
type
 +
{{Code|copy-nand sd:\os***py.img}}
 +
and press Enter.
 +
 
 +
* when the colored points aren't changing anymore, and Open Firmware says: OK
 +
disconnect your USB/SD device and type
 +
{{Code|reboot}}
 +
 
 +
When there happens a failure message (or no at all but no booting-process), try to overwrite your files a second time, try to re-download your file (eg "crc miscompare"), try to reformat your usb-stick (eg "is not a multiple of the nand erase block size"), try googling... (one time it helped to remove batteries for approximately 10 seconds. There are anecdotal cases where this resets the electronic controller that has unhung.)
 +
try!
 +
In the case of success: '''Enjoy!'''
