I think that's what I'll try next. The other option I'd like to try is a GPT-partitioned USB flash drive. For that to be advantageous, I would need to add GPT partition table support to my Linux kernel to avoid having to plug in a second USB flash drive for the MiniMyth files. [The goal of the exercise is to use a Mac Mini as a "diskless" MythTv frontend using the distro from www.minimyth.org. This Mini is my first Mac since the 68k days, and I'm very impressed with the hardware, but the firmware seems mediocre at best.] > The EFI FAT32 partition is OK and a good backup if using rEFIt > to recognise it without needing to bless, but cant be blessed > --folder. That's what I'd more-or-less concluded. I tried blessing the device (/dev/disk0s1) and that didn't make any difference either. What's odd is that I found step-by-step instructions that specifically show booting elilo from the EFI partition on an Intel Mac Mini at http://www.mythic-beasts.com/resources/macmini/walkthrough.html Did other versions of firmware allow blessing the EFI partition somehow? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
