I can't boot OSX properly

[Claire]

Hello!

I have a Mac OS X dvd, version 10.4.4, I don't know if it is Myzar's, all I know is that it has Maxxus' patch, because it showed up in installation package details.

So I installed it on my second primary partition (sda2).

Installation went fine, but after the reboot I was quite lost... I thought the install would overwrite grub, but it didn't, so I tried a

title Mac OS X 10.4.4

rootnoverify (hd0,1)

makeactive

chainloader --force +1

Which gives me a "Stage 2:Read Error" plus hang, that is I can't even Ctrl-Alt-Del-Reboot.

If i take out the --force, I get a "Stage 1.5 /n Unsupported executable format".

When I booted off the dvd again, I would start a new installation

I tried lilo, which told me "First sector of sda2 doesn't have a valid boot sector".

I also tried with mapping sda2 to sda1, but that didn't help either.

 

Then I went to boot the dvd again, just to check things under the installer disk utility, and there I got it, my installed osx booted out of nowhere. I created user account etc and it seemed to work nice.

 

So the problem still is that I can't boot.

Isn't osx supposed to install darwins bootloader? I have a darwin i386 8.0.1 cd around, may that help?

WinXP is not possible.

 

Please, I'm desperate now... help...

PS:

I just had a look at my mac partition from linux, and in /usr/standalone/i386/ is only one file called boot.efi, and not the usual boot0, chain0 etc files that (I guess, since the osx' boot loader stuff isn't documented anywhere...) are for bios bootloaders.
