Thund3rbolt Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Lots of yummy features in Slice's new b/l but anyone wanna tell me what the proper way to install it is? It comes with no documentation whatsoever. RC5m_692.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 5, 2011 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's not that hard guys just think of the unzipped folder as root/... being so that means that... boot & nvram.inf are in / Extra/modules (this is where the magic happens) The rest in Extra is not necessary but look at the boot/smbios.plist's for reference (I used my own) etc="AKA" /Private/etc Put rc.local & rc.shutdown.local in there After Reboot the boot loader will stop after detecting partitions you hit Enter key and it will resume as normal. That's all folks WARNING: May cause insomnia use as directed. If Insomnia persists for more than 24 hours add restart fix to your com.apple.Boot.plist in the event of mind loss/delerium consult your EDP specialists or replace boot with your old one Brought to you by a friend who knows a guy that has a cousin that has heard of the maker of: THE SLICE BOOT LOADER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thund3rbolt Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 rofl .. love the disclaimer! That;s what I thought but if I overwrite the boot file the root with his it completely messes things up. I'm confused as to how yer supposed to use that file.

Administrators Leon Posted January 16, 2011 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2011 ahh.. you it is actually you who is the genius behind this one also.. We have been talking about integrating it into to the EDP, so that the bootloader was optimized for the specific model also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
