Field Note #1 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-18

Go into -V (verbose mode) and let me know know what it says, what error do you see?

Field Note #2 @roisoft 2008-03-18

@Booster you only need fix the bootloader. MBR or GUID?

@Booster, Has instalado correctamente verdad? solo necesitas fijar el bootloader. Que has seleccionado MBR o GUID?

Field Note #3 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-18

If you are having problems with GUID and if this is the first time, I suggest you use MBR. =) Go to osx86.wikidot for the solution.

Field Note #4 @roisoft 2008-03-18

Pero con el disco en la unidad te funciona el sistema o también se bloquea?

Para fijar el mbr usa el instalador inicia con -s

mount -uw /
cd /usr/standalone/i386
./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8

X=nº de disco (si solo tienes un disco el nº será 0
Y=nº de particion en donde está leopard

(por ejemplo disk0s1 = leopard está en el primer disco primera partición)

Field Note #5 @roisoft 2008-03-18

ok, pues entonces fija el boot para mbr como te he dicho antes y listo. Para saber la ID de tu disco, puedes iniar sobre el instalador y abrir el terminal y teclear:

mount -uw / 
diskutil list (verás las id de tus discos algo asi  /dev/disk0s1 etc…fíjate la id del disco de leopard)
diskutil unmount /dev/diskX (el disco de leopard)
cd /usr/standalone/i386
./startupfiletool /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8
reboot

listo..
