- 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
- Note: EFI USB does NOT boot on MacBook Air. trying to figure out why
- need update the video parameters for various Macs- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528232#c20 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528232#c85
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
- Fix for EFI in v6? :::http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-October/104146.html
- 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
- 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)
<===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 blkidcommand 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

dd writable 2GB USB Soas-v6-Pineapple-USB .img
- Download: http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/soas-v6-i686.img
- Never started so has original Name___; Color___==> startup
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
