Intel-based Mac: Startup issues after using unsupported version of Windows installer

An Intel-based Mac may not be able to start up after attempting to install an unsupported version of Microsoft Windows XP via Boot Camp. In this situation, your Intel-based Mac may not be able to start from Mac OS X even if you hold the Option key during startup, and the hard disk may not be accessible in FireWire Target Disk Mode.

IIR(4)                                                     BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                                                     IIR(4)

NAME

     iir -- Intel Integrated RAID controller and ICP Vortex driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

           device pci
           device scbus
           device iir

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

           iir_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The iir driver claims to interface with the Intel integrated RAID controller cards, and all versions of the ICP Vortex controllers (including
     FC).

HARDWARE

     Controllers supported by the iir driver include:

     o   Intel RAID Controller SRCMR
     o   Intel Server RAID Controller U3-l (SRCU31a)
     o   Intel Server RAID Controller U3-1L (SRCU31La)
     o   Intel Server RAID Controller U3-2 (SRCU32)
     o   All past and future releases of Intel and ICP RAID Controllers.

     o   Intel RAID Controller SRCU21 (discontinued)
     o   Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 (older revision, not compatible)
     o   Intel RAID Controller SRCU31L (older revision, not compatible)

     The SRCU31 and SRCU31L can be updated via a firmware update available from Intel.
