Alright so I had this problem with Zephyroth Rev 1 dvd and never figured it out. I'm now running Re 2 I had to reinstall because I killed my install with this 10.5.3 update lol anyway now my drive won't boot unless I load the dvd first which makes darwin run. I am wondering if there is anyway to get the darwin boot loader running on my drive so I don't have to keep this dvd in my disc drive anymore?
