Actually, one of the fundamentals has changed. Starting in Lion, there's this new rescue partition, which is proprietary and hidden, and sometimes it's not even a real partition. If all your drives have the exact same geometry, you could auto deploy this partition using dd commands, but aside from that... The only known way to reliably (I emphasize reliably) deploy the rescue partition is to format the drive, and run the Lion installer from start to finish. If you're deploying systems based on some golden image or automated installation process, you need to do all the above before you can begin your automated process. You need the rescue partition, because without it, you cannot enable filevault. If you try to enable filevault on a system that doesn't have the partition already... Well... You're hosed. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
