Re: Bootloader

Thanks for the answers. I just tried installing Darwin 7.01 and although
it recognises Extended partitions the LBA48 support doesn't appear to be
working as my 250Gb HDD appears as 128GB so isn't able to use the
partition I have set up for it. Is LBA48 support OpenDarwin only?
Also, what is the best way to get the Darwin bootloader onto the Darwin
partition and not in the MBR?

Thanks,
Edward
