1). enable reFit on MacOS X
2). prepare one non-os x partition using disk utility (I use FAT32 partition format)
3). reboot and boot into backtrack 4 live cd
4). use FAT32 partition which already prepared before and format it as reiserfs, set that partition as active partition. Here’s my partition looks like:
root@bt:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00003bab
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 26 204819+ ee GPT
/dev/sda2 26 16066 128843776 af Unknown

/dev/sda4 17388 19441 16494384 af Unknown
5). follow instruction from remote-exploit forum to install BT4 into harddisk
6). here’s my lilo.conf looks like (based on partition above):
lba32
boot=/dev/sda
root=/dev/sda3
# bitmap=/boot/sarge.bmp
# bmp-colors=1,,0,2,,0
# bmp-table=120p,173p,1,15,17
# bmp-timer=254p,432p,1,0,0
# install=bmp

timeout=50
# map=/boot/map
vga=0x317
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="BT4"
read-only
initrd=/boot/splash.initrd
append=quiet
7. enjoy your backtrac4
Kecoak Elektronik Indonesia » Again, Backtrack 4 Harddisk Installation

@ 5:34 AM:
[...] Seperti biasa, proses instalasi Backtrack sangat-sangat simple terutama bagi para pengguna Gentoo dimana tehnik chroot dan konfigurasi boot loader bukan lagi menjadi hal yang aneh.

How did you get the wireless working with Backtrack? I’ve been having little success connecting via AirPort.
