I am wondering if I can use parallels to boot a linux that has been installed on a second (and third disk)?
I migrated to a macpro and simply added my linux disks, installed a new linux on a spare disk,
installed reffit and booted.
I have installed parallels and wondered if I could also boot the new linux directly without needing to
reinstall linux.
I have tried to configure the parallels virtual machine to use a seperate partition for booting
but cannot figure out the mapping in the virtual machine configuration screen (sata 0:1).
Is it possible to do what I am asking? Boot a hardware partition directly and how to configure it?
My layout is below. Disk 1 and 3 are the actually harddrives (using md and lvm), disk 2 is the second
drive where linux is install.
Thanks
