iDeneb 1.3 USB HD boot problems

I just finished installing iDeneb 1.3 from one partition of my USB HD to another. It took a while to get that to work, but I figured it out. However, once it had been installed and I set the other partition to active, the only thing I see at startup is:

 

boot0:MBR

boot0:done

 

in a loop. I've tried installing Chameleon, PC_EFI and a combination of the two. I've also tried using the other partition's Darwin bootloader to boot it, but whenever I try this, I get an error something like this:

 

System config file '/com.apple.boot.S/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found

 

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

EDIT: I found a way to get around this bug. When booting using the Darwin bootloader (on the other partition), boot using the command -v -f rd=disk1s3. I would still appreciate it if someone could find a way to boot without having to do this.

You can edit file

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Find the line like this:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string/> or <string>-v</string>

Edit <string> tag to match your setting, for example:

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-v -f rd=disk1s3</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>3</string>
<key>device-properties</key>

 

Good luck! :)

Even if I try this, I get the same loop. However, I did look at the Boot.plist for the installer partition. It had the flags "-legacy cpus=1". I put these flags as well as the others in the other partition, but I still get the same problem.
