Hello ..
I would like to install 10.9.x and 10.8.5 (For a more stable DAW use) on the same SSD.


So .. I'll have two partitions on the same 120GB SSD
1 Mvx
2 ML

From what I remember I should install Chimera on the first partitions (being Mvx)
however I don't know to which /Extra folder will Chimera refer to when loading each of the partitions (?).

I'm not even sure I'll have to use different contents of /Extra folder to each OS
(Will I ?? Should they be the same folder for both OSs ?? )

(*for example I might want to use different smbios or boot.chameleon.plist for different flags in each of the 2 partitions/OSs.)

I'd appreciate your advice ...

Thank you!
 
You need to install Chimera on both partitions to allow for each partition to be able to boot.

When booting a specific partition, the /Extra on that partition will be used.
