Did you type everything sensitvely such as: spaces, lowercase letters, uppercase, dashes, etc?

How to: Fix the GUID bootloader (Blinking cursor)
There's an issue with the script that installs the GUID bootloader.

Easy to fix :

1 - Boot with the DVD.
2 - Press F8, then type "-s"
3- type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"
4 - type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 (X is the disk number and Y is the partition number on which you installed Leo)
5 - type "dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1
6 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8"

GUID bootloader must be now installed correctly.

You should make sure.

Step four is: dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1

Remember, X and Y represents the number of the root partition of your system. In my case, it is 0 & 1, it can be 0 and 1 on your system or even something different. It all depends.

I don't understand your problems, buddy. WinLinMac explained it perfectly correct

This is how you type, exactly the same like the bold font:

Step 3:
cd /usr/standalone/i386

cd means change dir, so you use this command to switch to the i386 dir,
which is located at /usr/standalone. That's one of the most simple unix commands, easy, isn't it?

Now to Step 4:
dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1

The underlined part (rdiskXsY), must be replaced by X and Y with X as the disk number and Y as the partition number on which you installed Leopard)

In my case, for exampe, rdisk1s1!

You can check the numbers in the Dvd by using the Disk Utility.

In the following commands you will also have to replace diskX and diskXsY.

Best Wishes
