does it boot if you leave dvd in drive and do nothing?
If the answer is yes then you need to install bootloader manually.
I think you just have bootloader missing and will have to install it manually

for mbr miss out steps 4 & 5
mbr is a type of partition used to usually boot up Windows Partitions. Master-Boot-Record. GUID is default in Mac.
