juragan Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i was using Hiren's Disk and boot up with it. use magic boot and select the active drive to the partition where you install the osx86. restart. and cross your finger. hope it will work. :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102336-problem-booting-still-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-730538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
