Dell mini10v (1011) 多系统启动 w/ hackintosh成功

A little different from Allan Kelly's recipe
1. I preserved the Dell preinstalled hardware diagnosis tools hidden partition.
2. I installed Win 7 ultimate 32bit edition
3. bootloader is using EasyBCD installed on Win 7 ( It's very powerful, and easy to use, I tried this after Chameleon failed to boot itself at the last stage, and Win 7 BCD bootloader is shown up instead )
4. I installed Ubuntu netbook remix 104 LTS instead of standard desktop version.
5. I installed Grub2 with Ubuntu to my /dev/sda, and it's working good.
6. Last but not the least, I installed OS X 10.6.3 with NetBookInstaller 0.8.4 RC1. I avoided upgrade to 10.6.4.
7. I followed this post on MyDellMini forum to fix sleep/awake problem.

more on easyBCD, it can boot Linux, Mac OS X, with my configuration, it's actually boot Grub2 for Linux, and Chameleon for Snow Leopard resp.

My partition layout:
1. Dell HW Diag Tool hidden partition (primary, FAT, 39M)
4. OS X (primary, HFS+, 58G)
2. reinstalled WinXP SP3 (primary, NTFS, 18.78G)
3. extended partition
5. Win 7 (logical, NTFS, 29G)
6. Ubuntu Netbook Remix 104 (logical, ext4, 12G)
7. Ubuntu swap partition (logical, 2G)
8. free space

One last note: I used Asus Super Slim usb HD (size: 30G), instead of usb keydrive which is slow and opt to be worn out very quickly (I bought a 8G Kingston DataTraveller USB keydrive, and have to return it back several times to replace it). And I suggest resize the partitoin on external usb HD to as small as possible to speed the formating/copying process up.
