Problem booting osx86 without boot manager

[akripo]

Hi to all,

 

I have tried to install osx86 (leo4allv3) on a hard disk that previously hosted a FreeBSD installation.

 

I cleaned the partition table and I removed the FreeBSD default boot manager prior to the installation.

 

After successfully finished the installation procedure of the on my moded Wolfdale1333 R2 mobo, at the reboot i was presented with "HFS partition error".

 

After trying many different solutions to cope with this problem, I end up re-installing FreeBSD..

 

Later, I re-install the "leo4allv3" without cleaning the FreeBSD partitions and the mbr and after the reboot it worked perfectly through the FreeBSD boot manager !!!!

 

Then, I removed the FreeBSD boot manager and restarted the system and AGAIN I was presented with the "HFS partition error"

 

At last, I re-installed the FreeBSD boot manager and since then I am booting the OSX through the boot manager with success...

 

Any ideas why this is happening?

 

How I can boot OSX without using the boot manager in this case?

 

This is the output of the "diskutil":

/dev/disk0

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *298.1 Gi disk0

1: Apple_HFS disk0s1 298.1 Gi disk0s1

 

 

This is the output of the "fdisk":

Disk: /dev/rdisk0 geometry: 38913/255/63 [625142448 sectors]

Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55

Thank you for your time,

Finally I solved it :-D

 

It was really very trivial to fix this, although I don't understand why during the installation the MBR didn't erased..

 

First, I booted from the installation dvd and I executed terminal

Second, on the terminal screen I issued "fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0" and I re-written the MBR
