Cant find post installation patch

[liz]

Hi, I installed the JaS 10.5.4 OSX Intel sse3 sse2 on my Dell Inspiron 6000 and it just hangs at the grey screen with the apple.

 

I was told i need a boot loader and MBR.

 

This is what i was told to do:

 

2nd solution:

Set your Leopard Partition to "active" and create a Boot Loader. This

is the way to create/repair MBR and boot loader after you do the

Post-Installation Patch. This is how to do it: ---------------------------> Where do i find the patch????

 

 

Step one:

 

1. Boot to Tiger -----> done

 

 

Step two:

 

1.

- Download "Startupfiletool" - it can be found in this thread

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;&do=findComment&comment=166040

 

2.

- Unstuff and place "Startupfiletool" in "usr/sbin"

the easiest way to do this is to press shift-cmd-g in Finder and enter

"/usr/sbin" - then drag the "Startupfiletool" into the "sbin" folder --------> does this go in the 10.4 or 10.5 partition?

 

3.

- Locate and open the folder "files" on your Desktop (it's one of the

folders from BrazilMAC's patch folder) - inside "files" is a folder

called "i386" - open it.

- press shift-cmd-g in Finder and enter "/usr/standalone/i386" then

drag all files from the first opened "i386" folder (the one on

desktop/files) into the "i386" folder

 

4. I'm not 100% certain of tis, but I believe you may also need to put

"bless" into "usr/bin" (it can be found in the patch files on "desktop/files/")

 

 

Step three:

 

 

1. Open Terminal

 

2.

- Type: "diskutil list"

 

result will show all your partitions

 

- Write down volume name and disk identifier info!

 

Example:

 

name: Leopard

identifier: disk1s2 (1=disk number 2=partition number)

 

I will use "disk1s2" (or "rdisk1s2") and "Leopard " in this guide

code! - exchange it to your correct numbers and name when you see type

in the code!!!

 

 

Step four:

 

1. Mark the partition active

 

- Type: "sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk1"

(exchange "rdisk1" to your correct disk number!)

 

- enter your password

 

- Type: "update"

 

- Type: "f 2"

(exchange "f 2" to your correct partition number)

 

- Type: "w"

answer the question with "y"

 

- Type "q"

 

Step five:

- Type: "diskutil unmount /Volumes/Leopard"

(exchange "Leopard" for the correct name of your Leopard partition!)

 

- Type: "sudo dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk1s1 bs=512 count=1"

(exchange "rdisk1s2" for your correct disk and partition number!)

 

- Type: "sudo startupfiletool /dev/rdisk1s1 /usr/standalone/i386/boot"

(exchange "rdisk1s2" for your correct disk and partition number!)

 

- Type: "sudo bless -device /dev/disk1s1 -setBoot -verbose"

(exchange "disk1s2" for your correct disk and partition number!)

 

- Type: "diskutil mount /dev/disk1s1"

(exchange "disk1s2" for your correct disk and partition number!)

 

- Type: "bless -mount /Volumes/Leopard -setBoot -verbose"

(exchange "Leopard" for the correct name of your Leopard partition!)

 

 

You may get an error "Could not find IODeviceTree:/options" but it works!

 

 

IN ORDER TO PROCEED, I NEED THE POST INSTALLATION PATCH, CAN ANYONE HELP ME..
