petrosagg Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have successfully installed mac os x86 (jas 10.4.8), but if I try to boot without the DVD in my drive it stops with the _ cursor. If I have the DVD in my drive it loads Darwin and boots normally. How can I make it boot directly from my HDD without the need of the DVD. it is also annoying because it takes more time to load.

pras Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 i do have same problem too! desperately need an answer. i tried installing again and again. i even change the series to 10.4.4 and it didnt work out just the same. "boot failure. insert system disk and press enter". -- if anyone can explain, please explain it simply because i'm not much a computer man...
