sroerick Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 OK, I installed using winhex, I've got a 6 gig partition, everything looks good, until I restart. I get, simply, a blinking underscore. Running a 3200+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhLilDoggi Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 How in the bloody hell would you get it booted with a hex editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroerick Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 It's effectively the same thing as the dd command -- It copied it bit for bit to my drive. It made a 6 gig partition, and left the remaining 144-odd gigs unpartitioned -- sounds like a success to me. Oh, I'm not using an ide drive -- SATA. Would this come into play at all? EDIT: I just remembered, the same thing happened when I tried to boot to Darwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinp Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Same thing happens for me on a Fujitsu Siemens (Intel P4 3Ghz and a standard IDE-drive). Anyone who knows how to resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinp Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Possible solution: I made the mistake to copy the image to /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda. Reinstalling now brings up the Darwin boot prompt. However, a second after booting begins the computer is restarted. Doesn't matter which boot flags I set, the computer restarts as soon as booting begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
