Building the $200 OSx86 Mac

[nathan]

found this whilst looking on a site for something else. looks like a cheap way to own a mac. tried to install the x86 mac os on my machine before, but it didnt like the hardware. so here's a list of compatible parts (well, some anyway)

Is this OS dual bootable on a raid partition by any chance?

 

[nathan]

i would of thought any OS is dual bootable as its the boot.ini that specifies what to boot from.

Nice. I'd really like to give this a go

The problem is that I have a RAID setup, and if the OS isn't RAID compatible then it will overwrite my MBR and I'll lose my current os which = bad.
