jndrgr Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I just installed Kalyway. Installation went without any problem but when I tried to reboot it without disk, I can't. My hack boots system from Hard drive but only when I insert dvd. I heard that there are a script that I can you use to solve this booting problem but I didn't find it yet. Any suggestion, please?

MacNutty Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Install boot loader from OSx86 Tools or darwin boot loader from iATKOS install disk. After that also try this: boot with flag -s At command prompt use these commands fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (specify your disk number where leopard is installed) flag <partition number> write update quit reboot This might solve your problem.

LeHo Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I had similar problem. It was caused by partition names with spaces - example - MAC SYSTEM and MAC DATA. Partitions should have one word name – do not use spaces. I have reinstalled system creating partitions: MAC and DATA. In my case it solved the problem of DVD boot.

REcruit_ Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks! Chamelion efi solved my problem. I can boot it without installation CD. Can you also boot it without EFI bootcd? I want to make my computer easier to boot, than having to start from a cd all the time. Is this possible? At the moment I have the choice of booting OS X with installation DVD or bootloader cd, but I don't want to use either. Please help!
