4. Copy the MacOS USB Install to the HDD
There is, I know, more than one way to do this. But this is how I did it, which
is all I can vouch for...
Remember that the USB is GUID partitioned. There's a small partition (the "EFI"
partition) created on the USB that's not used by MacOSX. Your installation is on
the 2nd partition of the USB stick. So, below we copy from USB partition 2 to
HDD partition 2. Here's how.
With the MacOSX install USB plugged in, boot from the HDD into Linux. Get a
terminal open. Now use parted's cp facility to copy
your MacOSX install to the 2nd HDD partition. Like this:
sudo parted and supply your password
print devices and note the usb device: /dev/sd[bcd]
select /dev/sda we're targetting the HDD
cp /dev/sdc 2 2 copy from USB 2 to HDD 2
quit parted will say it can't resize the partition. Good!
You now have a MacOSX installation on your HDD. But we're not done yet.
Currently the HDD bootloader is Grub, which lists Linux and Windows. (Running
grub-mkconfig will now pick up the MacOSX install, but as I've said it didn't
work for me so I'll ignore that). If you reboot now you'll see that Chameleon on
the MacOSX USB install will boot Windows or MacOSX, but not Linux. The solution
below puts Chameleon on the HDD as bootloader and Grub in the Linux partition as
bootloader just for Linux. This works and looks good in practice. So, let's put
Grub onto the Linux Partition. Since we're in Linux let's do it now.
