Triple boot your MacBook Pro

I saw Windows XP running on an iMac at a CompUSA, and my first impression was confusion. Then came fear. Then came acceptance. Then came apathy. Sure, a lot of people will benefit because of this, and yes, this is a big tech leap, but all in all, it's not that exciting to me. Games are silly timewasters, and OSX has everything I need. I can't be the only one who feels this way. A Mac is good enough on its own.

"...But forget all this triple booting stuff... when is someone going to crack the 4 OS barrier? "

Hey dawg, but Sun Solaris works on intel Macs. I thought you knew... betta ask somebody!

Craig> "now if only these machines could run OS 9 ..."

There's an Intel Mac compilation of SheepShaver (which is a derivative of the Classic compatibility engine that would have been used if in an alternate universe Apple had bought Be instead of NeXT). It offers emulation of a PowerPC G3 running Mac OS 9.0.

mayo, if you read the article, you would have noticed that Grub can't be loaded (as it conflicts with GPT).

Solaris will probably be bootable on intelMacs, but they currently have some problems with boot managers, and it will probably take time.

BSD, BeOS/Haiku, Syllable, there are lots of possibilities for the brave.

This is starting to feel like the porn industry. "The MacBook Pro. DVDA anyone?"

What about Solaris? There is an x86 version. That's what i thought of as the 4th of a quad boot.

Beautiful fero. Creepy, but beautiful.

Close enough?

I spoke too soon, sorry. You can potentially fix this limit with Grub (not so user friendly though) and you can do some magic with the Grub commands and get around having to have primary partitions for OSs. unfortunately I don't have a Intel Mac to play with this.

what's the 4 OS barrier? I had 5 OSs booting on my wntel box for a long time now.
