Need help triple booting osx/w8/android

jcarlo said:

So far I've manage to install 10.8/w8 in legacy but when I tried to install android I can't get the installer to boot in legacy or uefi. I would like to have osx/w8 in legacy and android in uefi or all in legacy. For android I'm using the one for Intel, and its only supposed to install in uefi. I've formatted my disk using disk utility with the following osx in journaled, w8 and android in fat with guid. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advanced!

If you can only run Android with UEFI, I'm afraid you're stuck (but I have no desire or experience for Android... sorry).

Chameleon can only boot non-OS X systems in legacy mode.
And Clover can only boot non-OS X systems in UEFI mode.

You could use Clover boot loader to run everything in UEFI... but that doesn't sound like what you want...

I have not try clover. I just only seen it in a forum a few weeks ago. If everything runs ok in uefi, I'm more than happy to go that route. Thanks!

Clover, being new, is a bit rough at the moment. I know there are widespread problems with sleep, for example...

It might be better to find a way to boot Android legacy...

You are right. I guess I just need to choose if I want osx/W8 or w/8 android. Since I have Acer w700 tablet, how do I choose between os without keyboard? I have bt keyboard

That's a challenge isn't it. Multi-boot, no keyboard... One way: You could write some scripts for each OS that change the bootloader configuration before restarting, such that you boot into the newly selected OS by default. It would require you to place bootloader config on a partition accessible by all systems.

Or you could see if Clover's mouse support works with your touchscreen (If it emulates PS2 mouse interface...)
