  • Latest F16-RC4 and RC5 have the updated kernel and boot an EFI USB device directly on a MacBookPro i7 (11/03/2011)
I just successfully made a f16 RC4 EFI Boot USB in VirtualBox on My Macbook Pro i7......nice ; used x86-64 live Desktop and liveinst then installed additions (for USB Access)

Chat works just had chat with mulawa1 on USB on Mac
Is that an original MacBook Air? According to this page it does not boot EFI in 64 bits: Bert:
List of Macs that boot in EFI: http://www.everymac.com/mac-answers/snow-leopard-mac-os-x-faq/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-64-bit-macs-64-bit-efi-boot-in-64-bit-mode.html
f16 Common Bugs:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F16_bugs#Incorrect_partition_type_assigned_to_.2Fboot_partition_on_GPT-labelled_disks
Boot Flag: http://blog.christophersmart.com/2009/12/02/fedora-mac-and-efi/ older info to look at
Possible Fix: tested with grub2-efi, and then I can boot Air with xdriver=vesa nomodeset
Kernel upgrade to fix this: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/3.1.0/7.fc16/x86_64/kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64.rpm is in RC4
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516
Look at Further adventures in EFI booting: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/4957.html
WORKS WITH SoaS v5 Coconut and SoaS v6 Pineapple
Only works with wired cat5 connection (May work with Wireless-not tested)
EFI Boot.JPG <===click on image to enlarge
To Boot Hold "Option" Key when starting Mac. Hold key until EFI USB Icon Appears then select it right arrow ===> (EFI)
KEY: (x)= device name
Use the sudo blkid command in a terminal to see the USB and other device names for discs attached to the system.
ie: /dev/sdb; /dev/sdc; /dev/sdd.... IMPORTANT very dangerous if you use the wrong one
Run "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and  then use livecd-iso-to-disk

Boot tests of dd img USB's in a MacBook i7

READ THIS FIRST^
Synopsis: Only EFI .img Boots Mac.

Usb1.png dd writable 2GB USB Soas-v6-Pineapple-USB .img

How to Write your own .img file

Run "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and  then use livecd-iso-to-disk
  • use Disk Utility in f16 to format the USB as Master boot Record and /dev/sd(x)1 as FAT first.
  • Command Line to use in root terminal:
sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --format --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 175 --delete-home --unencrypted-home Fedora-16-release-i686-Live-SoaS.iso /dev/sd(x)

make .img file from inserted USB

Do this before you boot the USB.
( This will avoid network collisions when running multiple copies on the network.)
the unique ssh keys are generated on first boot of a SoaS USB
