Ok here's the background info:

 

eMachines T3612

Intel 945G chipset

GMA 950

1.5GB RAM

SATA recognized and working

 

Now I installed with JaS 10.4.8 DVD with semthex 8.8.1 kernel

 

I formatted my WD 120GB SATA HD to HFS+ journaized

 

Install went fine but upon reboot it won't boot.

 

I want this computer to be an OSX only machine so I don't need to dual boot. I assume I need a bootloader but which? How do I install it?

 

Thanks!

No bootable device found error

 

Kind of like when you don't have a HD hooked up and no bootable drives.

 

No loading of anything on the HD at all.

 

Like I said... should it boot without a bootloader?

I set the mac partition active using:

 

Use osx86 dvd then boot, after a welcome screen

Click 'Utility" menu then choose terminal,

I Typed:

mount -a (enter)

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (enter)

print (enter)

f 1 (enter)

quit

reboot

 

edit: I did not do the MBR selection - I checked around disk utility after booting with my DVD and partitioned the drive into 2 since it uses MBR - I had 1 GUID partition. Hopefully this will work.... reinstalling now
