thiago sampaio Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Solution to the problem: "System config file ˜/com.apple.Boot.plist not found" There is a long time I try to understand why my DVD driver couldn't boot on DVD of my MAC OSX, then I finally realised that it wasn't the reader, but the BIOS. I tested it with another driver and the problem was still on, but using the external DVD driver it didn't appear the error "System config file ‘/com.apple.Boot.plist not found ". My BIOS has no option to change the slave to master and my reader detected as slave. I believe that is the reason why I can not boot correctly. Solution: Install grub and use and indication on it to the boot manager which will boot in your drivers and correct the mistake. If your Linux is installed with grub, do this: cp memdisk sbm.bin /boot vim /boot/grub/menu.lst title Boot CD - DVD root (hd0,3) kernel /memdisk initrd /sbm.bin OBS : h0,0 = hda1 = partition 1 hd0,1 = hda2 = partition 2 hd0,2 = hda3 = partition 3 ....... If you doesn't have Linux or a partition to the grub to check the files, do this: Create a small partition (10M ~ 100M) through a partition manager (cfdisk, gnome partition, gparted, etc...) Boot your PC using a Linux live CD which has grub and: sudo mount /dev/hdaX /boot cd /boot wget http://thiago.sites.digi.com.br/file/grub.zip wget http://thiago.sites.digi.com.br/file/memdisk wget http://thiago.sites.digi.com.br/file/sbm.bin unzip grub.zip cd grub vim menu.lst title Boot CD - DVD root (hd0,2) kernel /memdisk initrd /sbm.bin OBS : root (hd0,2) if hdaX = hda3 grub-install /dev/hda reboot Select Boot CD - DVD and ask to boot from the DVD driver, if it appear any mistake, try again.
