# Format MacBook Pro (Intel) with two HFS+ partitions, Macintosh HD and INTELMac, and do a fresh install with: To Build a Universal Mac Image (Intel/PPC) Perhaps I did something wrong, but it seems that I might hold off on this for Leopard and just bite the bullet unless there was a step above that I missed below is my process (in Wiki form )) I used a 15' G4 PowerBook and a MacBook Pro on this and at the end the PPC laptop booted, but could not load the Finder correctly. (not to mention IR & BT ports to be able to 'tunnel' in support for RemoteControl/FrontRow, but that's another story -) while we are at it, a SATA & ethernet/NAS port would make great sense as well! It would be so sweet to see 'mobile' dvd & 2.5' harddrives come with both ports (usb2 fw400 & fw800). Of cousrse we all know (but cant fathom) why apple dropped support for usb booting on ppc macs (avail in classic but not in osx) so that leaves fw as the only way to boot macs x-platform.īut the penalty for this arbitrary limitation on boot interfaces is that a precious fw port is consumed on the host machine - which are in short supply on new macs (part of apple's bizzare campaign to destory the viability of fw - eg on ipods) and fw is not widely avail on pc's, so one is sort of stranded (or saddles with extra gizzmos) if one picks a fw-only boot solution. The oems force you to choose between only fw or only usb! Once you’ve selected your settings and ran you initial backup, click on the Save Task button in Carbon Copy Cloner.This is a great workaround for a universal system until apple fixes this in leopard (and so many other tiger gotchas).īut one note of frustration regarding the boot drive - unless one is willing to have a bulky 3.5' device to lug around, a 'mobile' a formfactor is the most practical approach.īut for some silly reason, none of the 'mobile' devices (2.5' winchester & slim dvd burners) are not avail with combo (usb/fw) interfaces. Now you have a bootable backup of your system disk!īonus: You may choose to automate this backup task. The initial back may take some time, but later backups will only copy the changes you’ve made, thus only taking a few minutes.
