Package: debian-installer Version: 20110106+b1 Severity: normal Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
I recently re-installed after replacing a drive on macmini3,1 which worked nearly flawlessly except that I needed to drop to a shell and install gptsync and run it during the "now we'll reboot" dialog at the end. I believe this is needed if anything was changed in partitioning. Of course, one may run gptsync from rEFIt or the Mac OS X installer instead, but since gptsync is packaged and works fine it would be great to just run it. I note that guided partitioning used a biosgrub partition, which is needed for "bios compatibility mode" on mac hardware, from what I gather. The installer also selected grub-pc, which would be correct for bios compatibility -- however, the MBR needs to be correct for (at least) the default Apple bootloader to try. I had rEFIt installed on a USB key, and was installing from a (different) USB key but wanted to do away with rEFIt (and OS X) for this one. Otherwise, the installer worked great, and continues to look better and better. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
