This document provides instructions for installing fdisk440 and Clover bootloader on different drive configurations. It describes installing fdisk440, then Clover files to either the active Mac partition, an EFI partition, or a USB stick. Specific commands are given to install bootloaders to the MBR and partition boot sectors in each case.

Installation ( Use fdisk440 instead of fdisk )

==============================================

Install fdisk440 first :


------------------------

sudo cp fdisk440 /usr/sbin/fdisk440

fdisk440 - The Chameleon team modded the Apple's fdisk to only update the first 440
bytes in the MBR by adjusting MBR_CODE_SIZE to 0x1B8. The modded fdisk was renamed
fdisk440 by Tam�s Kos�rszky on 2010-02-19 to avoid confusion between Apple's fdisk
and the Chameleon fdisk.
This utility resolves Windows sleep problem.

k.tproj

Files Install :
--------------------
- Install clover to the partition's root directory:
cp BOOT /
cp -r EFI /
sudo cp -v etc/* /etc/

Active partition installation


-----------------------------

Suppose that your partition is on /dev/disk0s2 HFS+

- Install boot0ss to the MBR:


sudo ./fdisk440 -f boot0ss -u -y /dev/rdisk0

- Install boot1h2 to the partition's bootsector:


sudo dd if=boot1h2 of=/dev/rdisk0s2

Attention! My boot1h2 differs from Chameleon's one and will works with both Clover
and Chameleon. You can't use Chameleon's boot1h with Clover-64.
Use boot1h2 to boot a bootloaders boot1, boot2, boot3...

Note: dd can't change boot sector of the system partition. You should start from
other partition

EFI Partition Install (FAT32) or to USB stick drive (disk1s1).


---------------------------------

Suppose that your installation is on /dev/disk0s1

- Prepare EFI partition:


sudo mkdir /Volumes/EFI
sudo mount_msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI/

- Install clover to the EFI partition's root directory:


cp boot /Volumes/EFI/
sudo umount -f /Volumes/EFI/

- Install boot0ss to the MBR:


sudo fdisk440 -f boot0ss -u -y /dev/rdisk0
- Install boot1f32alt to the partition's bootsector:

sudo fdisk440 -f boot0ss -u -y /dev/rdisk0


dd if=/dev/rdisk0s1 count=1 bs=512 of=origbs
cp boot1f32alt newbs
dd if=origbs of=newbs skip=3 seek=3 bs=1 count=87 conv=notrunc
dd if=newbs of=/dev/rdisk0s1 count=1 bs=512
cp BOOT /Volumes/EFI/

USB stick installation


-----------------------
Do not reformat factory formatted stick!

sudo fdisk440 -f boot0ss -u -y /dev/rdisk1


dd if=/dev/rdisk1s1 count=1 bs=512 of=origbs
cp boot1f32alt newbs
dd if=origbs of=newbs skip=3 seek=3 bs=1 count=87 conv=notrunc
dd if=newbs of=/dev/rdisk1s1 count=1 bs=512
cp BOOT /Volumes/Kingston/
cp -r EFI /Volumes/Kingston/
