wvirgo Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi I am new to the OSX86 world, although not to macs in the least. Or Windows for that matter. Heres my scene. I dd'ed the 10.4.1 image (6gb) onto a separate drive. While this took ablout a half day, it finished. Ive tried this three times. I am doing it from within XP, using the physicaldevice1 command. Every time I go out and take out the windows drive and put the OSX drive in, I can start the PC ok, but It gets to the boot prompt and nothing more. Ive tried what I call switches -v,-x, ETC... Nothing. It just comes right back to Boot: Ive been reading thru the forums, and Idont see anthing like this yet. Actually Ive been digging all over for it. If any of you have a solution or can point me at a post I am missing on it, I would appreicate it Peace mail tricomp_us at yahoo.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52399-stuck-at-boot-prompt-ive-tried-to-enter-safe-mode/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvirgo Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Well, I have since installed the same drive into a USB cradle and connected it as boot drive on another PC. Now I get to the boot prompt, -x for safe mode. It does something, but it still comes bak to boot prompt. any one got an idea of what (besides a real mac) I might be missing here?
