Hi all,

need help here. Thanks.

Version install: Zephy 10.5.2 rev 2
Harddisk 1: disk1s1 is Win xp
Harddisk 2:disk0s1 is leopard Sata Wd, install as MBR

i try to boot but i hang half way. i type -v and it hang at this line system model name: system product name.

i already type the following code but this dun work
// rdiskXsX: you have to know the proper partition names and replace them with X.
In my case, it would be rdisk0s1, first HDD, and first partition, on which leopard has been installed,
which you need to make bootable. :) You can also check this in the Disk Utility.

Hit enter after each terminal line to execute the command. //

1 -> Launch DVD
2 -> At boot prompt, type -s (single user mode)
3 -> Type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX
update
f 1
w (yes)
q

4 ->
cd /usr/standalone/i386

./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdisXsX ./boot (X is your partition)

5 ->
mount -uw
mount -t hfs /dev/diskXsX /Volumes

6 ->
bless -device /dev/diskXsX -setBoot -verbose

7 -> reboot, without any dvd inserted.
