Ok, you're speaking english, but the message just isn't
getting accross. Think grammer. Clearly you're
trying to boot Windows Vista/XP on the Intel Mac and claim $3000+ for
yourself.
Well my good sir, don't be so lazy, we're not going to work
to win you a competition. Especailly when (I assume) it'll have taken most
people a while to decipher what the hell you are talking
about.
As far was the EDI goes, we're in a catch 22 with the
Windows boot.
EFI won't boot MBR (El Torito, UDF) records, nor will it
even recognise them. You can get windows install as far as "Press any key
to boot from the CD" by copying the kernel + data to a HD/USB. But after that
it'll die because it can't see the install CD.
The options? Edit the Vista/XP kernel to boot +
install from a HD partition (Good luck), or mod the EDI so it can
reconise UDF or El Torito (Good luck). So basically, you
don't have a fucking chance.
Bye now!

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of PCSC Information Services Sent: 25 January 2006 02:47 To: full-disclosure@lists.grok.org.uk Subject: [Full-disclosure] can a brother get some disclosure? I'm sure you're aware that there is a new Intel iMac out there. Can we get
some info on the system boot sequence to be certain that the EFI module is in no
way 'blessed' by the TPM module prior to initialization? I have only one box to
give, and while I'm interested in having this issue fully disclosed, I am unable
to utilize this machine for this purpose, in that I'm offering it up as a
sacrificial Universal Binary lamb. I feel the community is best served by having
solid well coded, software running in OS X. Rather than attempting to do both,
and serve neither purpose, I'm putting it to full-disclosurati to out the boot
process in all steps, keep in mind there's a bounty for this fun and frivolity
with a 17" piece of plastic! It's growing all the time!
Thanks in advance,
