it won't go away no matter what i do, when i hit f8 it just allows me to put whatever flag in i want but it just does the same thing says the same thing..
i think if i can make this thing boot right then i can get the retail disk installed on my system which has been my goal for several weeks...
of course i did i even tried popping in the retail leopard dvd to ssee if that did anything but it keeps asking for a boot.plist so im wondering if i made my disk wrong i used slimbuild and just extracted my extensions.mkext and put those files in there.
thats all i did so i may have missed a couple of steps, i also use the voodoo kernel so i was wondering how important putting that in there was?

That's always happened for me, does it go away? If not try holding down F8.
Did you just try pressing enter with no bootflags whatsoever?
