/com.apple.Boot.plist not found. Using JMB patched JaS 10.4.8

I have been trying to get this to work for ages. Always no matter what setup I try I get the same error.

 

Right after trying to boot from DVD i get the message about not finding the plist thing. I have tried several different ISOs and just got the JaS plus JMB patch. Because my motherboard has a Jmicron chip. And I still get this error!

 

Installing from a PATA DVD burner to a SATA hdd.

 

Motherboard is a P5B which is on the compatiable hardware list. So what is the deal?

i have the same problem,

what strange is that i installed the same release once on my machine, so i had it running.

 

the only thing i changed was 1. Amount of ram (from 512 to 1256 MB) and 2. from 60GB Harddisk to 80GB harddisk.

 

Quite don't unterstand the problem.

 

install runs fine, but where is the system config file?

can i somehow check with the terminal on the dvd if the file is there?

 

or is the harddisk not the primary disk ?

 

*strange*

ok i searched the forum and tried one solution..

 

when in disk manager, before i hit erase disk , i check the partition and that the whole disk was one partition.

 

when "actual " is active there are 200mb space left blank.

 

So i created one that has EVERY PLACE and nothing Free.

and the installation and boot worked,

(just selected Partition 1 )

 

but now i have another problem think it's cause of the titan patch, first boot went well but second boot the screen went from white to dark (and some kind blury) and that's it.

 

no ideas on that one.

mzman: The BIOS makes the HDD controller enumerate the device at too high numbers so the only boot loader (the old open source darwin boot loader) available to boot hackintosh DVDs can not find it at all no matter what patch you stick to it (the patch is for a JMB driver that gets loaded at a later point).

 

On the P5B booting by USB drive works (as well as SATA).

On AB9 only SATA works.

Hmm, ok. What if I used a converter that plugged in the back of the dvd-rom drive which converted it to a SATA connection? I assume that would also work?

 

I have an adapter somewhere around here, USB CD-Rom will be harder to come by.

 

Also another quick question, I can get OSX installed via VMware but, when I restart the computer to try it, it says that an operating system can't be found. This couldn't be caused by the same issue could it? I am trying to boot it off a partition on a SATA drive.
