Has anyone rooted the Nook Classic/1 on Mac OSX? I tried this method: nookdevs.com/Rooting_B%26N_revision_1.4_to_1.7_on_any_hardware but only got as far as pushing connecting to install nooklauncher after you push init.rc back to the nook. It fails to connect at this point, even after rebooting.

I have serial #101146***** and firmware 1.7.0.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm rooting because I have a ton of books and the file system on the Nook is terrible for large quantities.

I know there's the router rooting system, but I'm on a Mac, so I can't use Tftp32D. I've googled, but everyone seems to have lost interest in the Nook Classic.
