Haiku on x86 macbooks

Development OS

Nice!

Would be cool to get around this roadblock, if I can atleast boot the system I can start developing a driver for the T2 chip.

Before I get to that T2-based MacBook, if you wish to hack it a bit yourself you can try:

  • the rEFInd textmode parameter to see if it makes any difference.
  • if not, try combining it with the use_graphics_for set to an empty value (by default it should display grey background for MacOS booting, but maybe something goes wrong with that logic).
  • starting Haiku UEFI loader from the EFI shell (you’d need to download a shell from either from the edk2 project here, or from the old rEFIt project as described here).
