Can a Mac Mini, Server edition, be booted off either of its two disks?

I'm interested in having one disk with OSX Server on it, and the other a dual boot Linux/Windows, to get around OSX's fussiness about boot loaders.

Yes.

For OSX just install again on the other disk then System Preferences-> Startup disk will offer a choice.

For Windows install via BootCamp and the Windows disk wiull show in the startup volumes.

For Linux you might have to look at rEFIt

  • And what happens at boot time: how do I choose between the disks? Nov 15, 2010 at 11:21
  • I don;t know re rEFIt but for OSX and Bootcamp - in OSX choose Startup disc in System Preferences or in Windows choose on Bootcamp Icon or control panel. Or on boot hit Option (aka alt ) support.apple.com/kb/HT1310

  • OK, that tells me what I want to do is possible. Nov 15, 2010 at 13:16
  • Note: OSX Server isn't supported by Bootcamp. REFIT seems to be the way to go. Nov 26, 2010 at 19:17
