"Before you install the new kernel, make a copy of your original
kernel. When things fail you can always copy the original kernel back
by booting from a different disk or partition. Either X or 9 will
work." (from xnu building for mortals - circa 10.1.1)
I am rather speechless. This seems like a rather obsolete suggestion
for machines that ship with solely OSX now.
Is there no such way to boot from the backup kernel you made from the
primary disk?. I only have X, I don't have 9. I also only have one
Mac. Do I need to keep the original install cd's on hand whenever I am
in the mood to dabble?
I have been searching the archives for this very question... either
this is really a stupid question or everyone has enough methods to get
themselves out of binds. Can someone give me a shout out as to where I
missed the boat?
