Parallels Developers PLEASE Respond to thisl

[anomaly256]

PLEASE answer this question for us once and for all:

DO YOU EVER intend to allow booting from native linux partitions? Or is XP+Bootcamp the ONLY scenario you intend to support?

With some hacking it's quite obvious parallels works JUST FINE booting linux from a native partition if you manage to fool it into thinking it's XP under Bootcamp, but with a triple boot setup your product just refuses to do anything.

Can you fix this? Will you fix this? Am I wasting my time even asking for it?

I know many people want to know the answer to this and so far there hasn't been any response from you guys on this matter directly as far as I can tell...

excellent news, thanks for the update.

Ive actually found a discussion about this

http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=9104&highlight=disk0s4

So far i have my windows partition booting fine just by adding the 'disk0s4' name for the drive (found by using the 'mount' command in the terminal) after the words 'Boot Camp' in the IDE section of the .pvs file (using boot camp drive)

Unfortunately my linux drive uses the ext3 file system wich is not naturally recognised by osx so even if i mount the drive using ExtFSManager the drive wont boot because the program interferes with it.

If i mount the drive i get the disk name, it just wont boot from it either mounted or unmounted.
