to sorta answer my own question i am going to try this:

Quote:
[cite] Puttabong:[/cite]riangeli, How to fix MBR boot without EFI:

// rdiskXsX: you have to know the proper partition names and replace them with X.
In my case, it would be rdisk0s1, first HDD, and first partition, on which leopard has been installed,
which you need to make bootable. You can also check this in the Disk Utility.

Hit enter after each terminal line to execute the command. //


1 -> Launch DVD
2 -> At boot prompt, type -s (single user mode)
3 -> Type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX
update
f 1
w (yes)
q


4 ->
cd /usr/standalone/i386

./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdisXsX ./boot (X is your partition)


5 ->
mount -uw /
mount -t hfs /dev/diskXsX /Volumes


6 ->
bless -device /dev/diskXsX -setBoot -verbose

7 -> reboot, without any dvd inserted.
I will get back to you guys with results.
