Field Note #1 @Ianxxx 2008-04-08

You need to make sure that you have bootable flag on mbr, you can check with partitioning software like gparted
If yes and still wont boot then do steps below

1 - Boot with the DVD.
2 - Press F8, then type "-s"
3- type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"
4 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8"
