Re: Startup disk check
Hi Eric,
You can reduce the reboot delay if you turn on HFS+ journaling for
all file systems. If you boot into MacOS 8 or 9, you should shutdown
MacOS X cleanly before doing so.
sudo diskutil enableJournal /dev/disk#s#
You could also setup NetBoot for the test machine. The root filesystem
will always be in a consistent state then. ;) Setting up NetBoot is
non-trivial and requires OS X Server components.
Have you tried booting into single user mode and manually loading
the necessary kernel extensions? (Or do they load even on a
single user boot?) You could unmount non-required volumes.
Have you tried shift-booting too? If the kext's don't load, you could
load them manually to possibly reproduce the problem.
In these last two cases, you could remount all filesystems as
read-only to avoid disk checks for those file systems.
mount -o remount,ro /
--Steve

Is there anyway to skip this check? Is it too risky to bypass?
