== How to boot the Macmini from HD == |
|||
Linux boot process in an Intel Macmini is a bit tricky |
|||
=== CentOS === |
|||
The `gptsync` tool provided by `refit` packege must be enough in order to boot Linux on an Intel Macmini. |
|||
=== Debian === |
|||
# Ensure that partition with `boot` has the boot flag set. |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
fdisk /dev/sda |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
# Install needed packages |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
apt-get install gptsync grub-pc |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
# Install grub in MBR |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
gptsync |
|||
grub-install /dev/sda |
|||
update-grub |
