Netkas releases PC EFI V10.3

New release 10.3 is now based on Chameleon2 RC3

it includes all features of 10/10.1 (like 64-bit efi pages and etc), also introduces new features, like support for injecting ati

radeon 48×0 cards in bootloader, like chameleon2 rc3 does for nvidia, more ati support will come later.

Video and ethernet devices now listed in PCI Cards section of system profiler.(if graphicsenabler/ethernetbuiltin used)

Fixed few bugs in rc3 code.

Now about inbooter injector.

Chameleon2 RC3 supported only pciroot = 0, many new motherboards have pciroot=1.

Now pciroot=1 used by default, if you want pciroot to be 0 – use -pci0 boot option.

To find you pciroot value, use this osx terminal command:

ioreg -l | grep -15 “AppleACPIPCI\ ” | grep UID

To activate video/ethernet injector just use same options in boot.plist that used in Chameleon RC2+ and remove device

properties key, options is :

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>

ATI injecctor designed for snow leopard, dont use it in leopard(binimage isn’t injected) with 4830/4850(you will get screen flickerings)

Installation – if you dont have chameleon2 installed yet – get rc1/rc2 install pkg and use leopard to install bootloader, then
replace boot file in root of boot partition with this one –

booter10.1
