Hello, boot-land community!

I try to boot MacOS X from Linux on Apple Intel Mac. But currently with no results.

I try to use kexec + grub4dos + boot-132. Boot-132 iso was converted to some bootable hd image. Then i use the following command:

# kexec -l grub.exe --initrd=boot-132.img --command-line="--config-file=map (rd) (hd0); map --hook; chainloader (hd0)+1; rootnoverify (hd0)"
# kexec -e

When boot-132 started, my keyboard stop working. And i can't type any commands (press enter for example to continue booting). In the net i find biosdev=xx option for boot-132. With this option i can specify device for booting. I try to change biosdev option in various ways, but started from kexec boot-132 don't see any internal drives, only the virtual image (--initrd=boot-132.img).

May be grub.exe follow to incorrect boot-132 work? Can i boot boot-132 from kexec without using of grub.exe?

Anybody have any experience in booting MacOS X from Linux through kexec?

P.S. Sorry for my english.
