![]() You will see something like that: /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" Now we will need to fix filesystem and labels for created in OS X partitions. On windows it could be done through PuTTY: Preparing the disks Remember local network IP address: ifconfig | grep inetĬhange password for root to known value: passwdĬonnect from remote PC in that network via SSH.įor mac os x and linux its ssh where 192.168.1.111 is macbook ip address. It will require working network too.Ĭhange the following options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: PermitRootLogin yes I recommend to proceed with installation from remote PC via ssh. Now we need to check that network is fine: ping Later I will show how to install broadcom-sta driver with wireless-N support.Ĭheck if wireless interface is available: ifconfigĬonnect to wireless network through NetworkManager: nmcli dev wifi connect "network name" password "secret" Remove bad modules if loaded and reload b43: rmmod b43 bcmaī43 will not give you wireless-N but wireless-B/G should be sufficient to perform initial gentoo installation. Put it on created installation media in drivers directory.Īfter booting in SystemRescueCD please do the following: cp /livemnt/boot/drivers/broadcom-wl-6.30.163.46.tar.bz2. If you would like to get wireless installation you will need to add broadcom driver on installation media after media creation. SystemRescueCD has driver for it but without firmware =) My MacBook Pro has Broadcom BCM4331 wireless controller. I have wired network and DHCP so I selected it in net-setup wizard. Run network setup (in my case it’s ens9 interface): net-setup ens9 The easiest way to get network for me was to use original Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet adaptor and it works fine. Let’s look what hardware we have: /root % lspci | grep 'Ethernet\|Network'Ġ2:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57786 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 21)Ġ3:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02) To be able to download the latest source code, networking will need to be configured. There could other label for other distros, for example “Windows” =)Īfter livecd linux boot you will see console with very small text if you have retina on your macbook pro. You will see boot screen, on left there will be Macintosh HD and EFI Boot on right side. Plug in you UDB thumb drive with installation media, reboot OS X and hold ALT after you will hear boot sound. Please disregard unetbootin message that mac will be unbootable with created media. It could be done with UNetBootIn available here Īfter procedure will be completed we could proceed with installation. Next we need to write iso as EFI bootable thumb drive. Remember device id (see behind) to select valid device in UNetBootIn. ![]() We will install gentoo from USB thumb drive, so we will need to convert ISO image to EFI bootable image for thumb drive.Īttach thumb drive, open Disk Utility and erase thumb drive like on screenshot below. But technically you could use almost any livecd linux distro. ![]() I recommend to use SystemRescueCD as installation media because it has more drivers for wireless and ethernet out of the box in comparison with gentoo minimal install CD. Open Disk Utility, resize main partition and create 2 new partitions in the end with any filesystem and and label (we will change fs and label later). I have 8GB of RAM, so swap should be a little bit larger to make sure that hibernation data will fit. We will need at least two partitions – one for root and one for swap (for swap and hibernation). I have MacOS X 10.11 El Captain so screenshot will show that OS. I will use x86-64 default gentoo profile with gnome 3 and systemd. Main language is English with options to type in Russian and to see Russian text. I would like to have Gentoo Linux as second OS on my MacBook Pro Retina 13″ (Early 2013).Īlso I would like to have both full functional console and full functional X with Gnome 3 desktop.Īlso I would like to have support for Russian and English everywhere. ![]()
