It will give you a list of current partitions. When you get to the disk partitioning page of the wizard, choose Manual.
#CREATE SEPARATE PARTITION ON UBUNTU FOR MAC INSTALL#
Put your CD or DVD for Linux in your drive and boot off the disk to install Linux.

You might also boot back to Mac to test to make sure things are working. Note: Never use the Bootcamp Control Panel to set startup disk (let rEFIt handle that.you'll have to reenable rEFIt from the Mac side if you do this).
#CREATE SEPARATE PARTITION ON UBUNTU FOR MAC MAC OS X#
If you haven't already, put the Mac OS X install DVD in your drive and install the BootCamp drivers.
#CREATE SEPARATE PARTITION ON UBUNTU FOR MAC UPDATE#
take care not to blow away your OS X partition).ĥ) Update rEFit (synchronizes the legacy MBR partition table with the GPT partition table) Make sure you install to the last partition on the disk (i.e.

Boot to the Windows installer from rEFIt. Put the Windows install CD in your DVD drive and reboot your machine. You will need your Windows install CD and the Mac OS X install DVD (for BootCamp drivers). (Hint: Selecting different sizes may help you more easily identify which partition is which in the different OS installers.)ĭisk Utility will look a little bit like the following picture, but the middle partition may actually be labeled when you do this for real. The first partition is OS X, the last partition is for Windows. Hit '+' to create a new partition which will appear in the middle. I believe the problem is with the version of GRUB Lenny uses.Ģ) Run bootcamp assistant, create a windows partition (I'll install Windows later)ģ) Use Disk Utility to create and resize the partitions to hold the new operating systems. I originally tried Debian Lenny instead of Ubuntu, but it would not boot through virtualization. My triple boot machine is Mac 10.5 Leopard, Windows XP SP3 (32-bit), and Ubuntu 8.10 Linux (64-bit). You might think of this procedure as an aggregate list of links (that needs more links). I list what I have and link to what I had referenced.

#CREATE SEPARATE PARTITION ON UBUNTU FOR MAC TRIAL#
(I am still on the trial license, but need to make a decision soon.) I'm wondering if VirtualBox is sufficiently good enough for my purposes.Īs I mentioned, I took too long to put this together, so this is not going to be a complete how-to. Since I do not get OpenGL acceleration, I'm not sure if I am getting value out of VMWare for what I'm doing. If anybody out there has gotten this to work, I want to hear from you.įinally, I would like to hear and see instructions on doing this with VirtualBox. But I am completely stuck and have no ideas. I was rather burned out by VMWare the time I got to trying Parallels so it's not completely fair. I could not get Parallels to work, which is a great disappointment to me. VMWare Fusion works, but it was a lot of work (though partly Debian Lenny's fault). Having to remember to keep a separate native and virtual configuration up-to-date and in-sync for each OS was more than I wanted to deal with. Just setting my development environment in Windows was a non-trivial effort. (I was spending a lot of time writing a new CMake build system for a project.)īeing able to share/reuse the same native partition with the virtual machine is a big plus. So when all else fails, I need a native partition.įor #2, being able to quickly switch without rebooting is a huge plus for me, so virtualization makes sense here. Parallels on the other hand does, but I couldn't get Parallels to work.

I also tried Parallels Desktop, but didn't have any success.ġ) Be able to run OpenGL with hardware acceleration and the most up-to-date driver support.Ģ) Be able to develop/compile code on all three operating systemsįor #1, I was very disappointed to discover that VMWare doesn't support OpenGL acceleration. In addition to having native bootable partitions for each OS, I also made each runnable through virtualization. Unlike a traditional triple-boot system, I pushed the envelope a bit further.

My particular setup is a bit more uncommon which is why I feel I should push this document out there. At this point, I'm just going to push out my notes as I have them now and hope it still may be helpful to somebody out there. Unfortunately, I sat on this document too long without finishing it and have forgotten what I did to make it work. I setup a triple-boot Mac/Windows/Linux system about 6 months ago with which partitions I shared with virtualization.
