Sounds like the problem I had at first. Did you su to root first?4. Mount the grub partition to /mnt/USB: # mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/USB
This doesn't work in RC2. First it complains it doesn't know the type (needs -t), then if I supply ext2 it complains the filesystem is busy. I don't know of a work-around.
System Update won't recognise the new release on 27 Feb.
I've tried loops of img files. I've tried tricking grub to start/boot the r1 update iso... no joy.
Am getting close to backing up sda1 then replacing it with the contents of the iso file, then rebooting if I thought I could get back to the original sda1 contents somehow.
this is nuts.

Ok... finally.
1. Download the iso on your Mac, not within Android (duh).
2. Find a semi-disposable USB drive, back it up, and install the iso file on the main partition, e.g.:
# dd if=android-x86_64-9.0-r1.iso of=/dev/disk4 bs=1m
3. Go to your Android configuration in Parallels and under Hardware -> Boot Order, set the External Device above the Hard Disk, and make sure it's checked.
4. You can optionally select the External Boot device by name (and drive#) underneath.
5. Start the Android VM in Parallels and it should boot into the grub menu from the USB Drive.
6. Select "Advanced Options..." then "Auto_Update - Auto update Android-x86" on the next screen. It should then proceed to update sda1.
7. Don't forget to de-select the USB drive from the Boot Order when restarting.
8. Definitely don't forget to add nomodeset to the grub menu (see earlier post) otherwise you'll never get past the command prompt.
What a discovery process.

How did you figure that out? You are a life saver.Ok... Found it. Need to set up a keyboard setting in Parallels for Android (Generic) that maps Opt-Cmd to Menu. Then you can wake it from Sleep Mode (set from Taskbar's Power Menu) by holding down Opt-Cmd until the screen reappears.
