zivo Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have the same problem, we will wait till someone post a solution thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10218-osx-intel-build-1044-dvdinstall-noboot-after-install/#findComment-63850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinc Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 In the installer go to Utilities -> Terminal and type: newfs -J -v OSX /dev/rdiskXsY Where X is the disk and Y is the slice. For a native install it's rdisk0s1 That should return something like: Mounted XXGB journaled HFS+ Now quit the terminal and go to the disk utility, select OSX from the right and click Mount. Now you can select a destination drive!

martinc Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Did you go into the disk utility and then click mount? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10218-osx-intel-build-1044-dvdinstall-noboot-after-install/#findComment-63976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaphunk Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I am having the exact same problem, except I was able to mount the drive. I also went into startup disk utility and selected which drive to boot. I am still getting the flashing cursor in the top left corner.

martinc Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The startup disk utility enables EFI! But I haven't been able to get it booting either.
