What type of partition are you running on, GUID or MBR? What version of Zephyroth's release are you trying to install? What is the name of the volume/partition you installed your copy of the O/S? Answer these, and there may be some solution available for you. =)

[aljonama]

OK,

I take the MBR (see the info.txt
I download the Leopard-10-5.2-AMD.ISO via torrent fom PiratesBay and install this
and by the Partition doing i name the Partion Leopard

Please look.

Did you install with or without EFI?

[Puttabong]

If you installed with MBR and without EFI, then this is the right way:

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

1 -> Launch with 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

5 ->

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

6 ->

bless -device /dev/diskXsX -setBoot -verbose

7 -> Reboot, hopefully without any dvd inserted.
