Mr Malicious Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Boot to the desktop with the dvd in the drive nad open a terminal Next type in sudo -s(hit enter) Then when prompted for your password enter it. Now still in the terminal type (Grab your mounted os x install DVD's icon in the desktop and drop it here)usr/sbin/Bless -mount / -setBoot So if your os x install dvd is called JaS.10.4.6 it should look like ths. /Volumes/JaS.10.4.6/usr/sbin/Bless -mount / -setBoot Once your done with this command it should just return to the root prompt with no message ,this means it worked. Eject the dvd and boot the system normally.This shuld have fixed your boot issues if you followed them correctly and your drive not being blessed / active was the only issue.
