my system:
Amd 1.2
Asus a7v mobo
nvidia vesa 32mb video card

I was following the guide from this site:
fr ozr.com/apple/how-to-install-mac-os-x-leopard-on-pc/
I'm using Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI rev 2

So The DVD boots, and it loads darwin, but then the system restarts, and boot from the dvd again, after a few cycles it gives me the error message that the file "/com.apple.boot.plist" is missing.

any ideas? thanks

Field Note #1 @nfoav8or 2008-12-18 ↳ Re: @mdonohu1
@mdonohu1it loads for like 30 seconds and then restarts

a time frame doesn't help us much because there are slow booters out there as well as really fast ones. when you use the boot flag "-v" how far along do the verbose readouts get until it stops and restarts?
