    Hello All,
    I have Acer Aspire One 110.
    My initial goal was to have original Linpus installed on internal memory card, while on external SD card I want Leopard Mac Os.

    Everything went good, but when I started installing Leopard MacOS, I've found that neither /dev/mmcblk0 nor /dev/mmcblk1 slots are not seen by MacOS installer and thus can't be mounted in Mac installer's terminal or Disk Utility.

    Is there any way to solidly mount this external 8Gb card to either of these 2 devices somehow to make them visible to Mac OS installer from the very beginning? Can it be done with GRUB?

    Below are my steps that I have done:

    1/ Downloaded iATKOS_v1.0i.iso from torrents
    2/ Made image of it on my USB pen (dd if=/media/disk/iATKOS_v1.0i.iso of=/dev/sdb)
    3/ Made USB bootable (fdisk /dev/sdb and "toggle bootable" there)
    4/ Made grub.conf menu and placed macos EFI boot image to the appropriate place like recommended here http://www.venera7.com/22-11-2008/i...-in-the-acer-aspire-one-aka-the-macbook-nano/.
    5/ During booting I select Mac Os in GRUB and change boot device to 81 in darwin
    6/ Apple installation screens appear... and here is my problem - I can't mount my external /dev/mmcblk0 or /dev/mmcblk1 as target device to install MacOS on it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Seeing as this is a more recent post (as opposed to a 2006/2007 post) i would suggest using iAtkos v5, as it is the most recent (besides 10.5.6) of osx86 "distributions". I tried using that same guide with Kalyway, but it was really hard to upgrade, following all the steps.

    I used this post ( viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7802 ) and it has worked 100%
