Won't install

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Hi, I cant get the hack to work. 
1. I've installed the latest firmvare 1.1.1. But from there I don't know where 
things go wrong. 
2. Then I try to instal the testfir.fir, screen goes blank, I wait for a while 
(up to 20 min), then turn it of and remove battery. 
3. Formate the card. 
4. When using the MacBoot?, I've to press the make dslr-bootable right? then 
press Prepare card. Then i´ve copied the autoexec.bin, just the bin file, over 
to the root of the CF card. 
5. But nothing happends.

I'm running Mac OS 1.7.1 Lion.

Do i have to write the code from "direct method"?

Please help...

Thanks

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Changing to the newly created type "Support" (sorry I cannot be of much help, 
as I do not own a Mac).

Macboot don't works with lion. 

Try this script instead (is from Magic Lantern but should work, if not just 
reformat the card):

scrizza, can you please update the HackInstallation wiki about mac. I do not 
own a mac too, so  what is written there was my 15 mins research on the forum ;)

I've added the info that MacBoot is not compatible with Lion.
But received no feedback on the script made by arm.indy with my edits to make 
it, so i'm not sure if it is really a good thing to link it in the user guide 
until more feedback.

I'll try to test it more. If it works can it be added to the downloads?

I think that maybe is possible to have the script work the same way also on 
linux, but this line need to be changed with a command that returns the device 
node of the card. With Osx dropping the icon of the card in terminal (shell?) 
it gives the mount point (/Volumes/MemoryCard)

then with this line it's converted to the device node:
  dev=$(diskutil info $mountpoint | grep 'Device Node' | awk '{print $3}')

if there is a linux equivalent for diskutil I think it can work.
diskutil info /Volumes/MemoryCard gives a list of info about the device like 
the one we need to know:

   Device Node:              /dev/disk2s1

attached the script for mac

@scrizza: ok, if you believe it's ready for Mac, I will rework it to work on 
linux too.
@stian...: any feedback on the script ?

I didn't get the Magic Lantern script to work either. I used an older mac i 
found, with snow leopard, to make a bootable card with MacBoot. MacBoot do work.

Unfortunately i do not own a mac to investigate this further. I will close this 
as WontFix for now, but please keep us posted with anything new on this.
