<HowTo> Fix bootloader issue "boot only with dvd"

[Vista Master]

If You can BOOT ONLY FROM DVD:

BOOT TO MAC OS

GO TO System/Installation/Packages| On The DVD

You'll find BOOT_efi_guid and BOOT_efi_mbr

Choose the one that suits you.

After It finishes Installing Take The DVD Out And REBOOT!

It should Boot with Darwin.

:wink2:

I do not see either BOOT_efi_guid or BOOT_efi_mbr in /System/Installation/Packages on the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD.

This is what I see on the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD:

 

bofors:Packages bofors$ pwd
/Volumes/Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd/system/Installation/Packages
bofors:Packages bofors$ ls
ACL.pkg				BSD.pkg				German.pkg			MigrationAssistant.pkg		PodcastCapture.pkg		iPodSupport.pkg
AdditionalEssentials.pkg	BaseSystem.pkg			Japanese.pkg			OSInstall.mpkg			Safari.pkg			iTunes.pkg
AdditionalFonts.pkg		DVDPlayer.pkg			Java.pkg			OSInstall.pkg			Spanish.pkg
AddressBook.pkg			Directory.pkg			JavaTools.pkg			OSUpgrade.pkg			X11User.pkg
AsianLanguagesSupport.pkg	Essentials.pkg			Mail.pkg			OxfordDictionaries.pkg		iCal.pkg
Automator.pkg			French.pkg			MediaFiles.pkg			Patches				iChat.pkg

 

Are you sure you are using the same "Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel Amd" disk?

 

Are you sure the path is /System/Installation/Packages ?

bofors,

Why don't you try this:

[How TO] Can only boot Leopard with DVD in the Drive?, Here's the solution.

 

You won't need to get any files from the installation DVD and it worked for me! Good luck!
