I will try and determine that on the Dual 2.7. I just booted from disc1 on the Dual 1.8 and no hard drives show up with 'boot' but they do with 'boot -v'. I have been unable to use the livefs so far. I burned it to a DVD and tried to boot from it but it won't boot. The computer just spits it out when holding down C at startup. Using disc1 I was able to partition the Dual 1.8 system but I can't install the boot loader without the livefs (I think anyway). Oddly, the livefs mounts as an hfs filesystem on my Mac. Is that correct? Bryanhome | help
