hi,
i'm trying to help the mac guy here make a MacOS X (10.2) bootable cd.
he's found this doc - http://www.bombich.com/mactips/bootx.html but it covers 10.1 and an essential command has changed between versions (mkextcache(8) has changed to kextcache(8)).
this command needs to be changed from the original sheet:
sudo mkextcache -t ppc -d \
/Volumes/Rescue/System/Library/Extensions \
-o /Volumes/Rescue2/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
i've tried running:
kextcache -a ppc -m /Volumes/Rescue/System/Library/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/Rescue/System/Library/Extensions
but this gives authentication errors. running with the -z gives the same errors. instead i've tried running this:
kextcache -a ppc -m /Volumes/Rescue/System/Library/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions
but the cd boots and then hangs. any ideas on what the problem is with what i'm trying? any other docs i should try?
fyi, the image creation steps specified in the aforementioned doc didnt work. needed to use disk copy, change prefs to make a master cd/dvd, then make the blank image. at least i think that's what happened, most of the time i'm just on the phone with the mac guy and using gui's is so foreign to me...
any help appreciated.
