Good installation, no boot (jas 10.4.7)

[alpine]

To start, i would like to give kudos to all the people posting help on this topic. this dual boot will make my life a lot easier when debugging various things.

and who wants to bone up another 2 grand for a decent apple anyhow?

 

ok.

 

i have the jas mac os x86 10.4.7 release.

i am using acronis disk utility to manage my partitions.

cpu: SSE2 compatible

system: alienware dual processor P4 3.2 GHz

 

when i began the OS X installation, i was given the error prompt of "You must restart your computer..." this error appears to come from OS X and not the darwin boot loader. anyhow, i read around on this site and found answers to boot the installation disk using the "-v" parameter and voila, worked like a charm.

 

once the installation was complete, i restarted the system and into the acronis OS Selector screen to boot into my fresh installation of OS X.

i was met yet again with the same error mentioned above.

 

my question is simply, how to solve this?

more specifically, is there a way to add the "-v" boot parameter to darwin through acronis to boot in the same manner as i did with the installation disk?

 

any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks in advance!

 

Al.
