Bless Error

[natoodo]

I have leopard GM installed on my computer but can only boot it with the install disk. I followed the instructions Here

 

the instruction work right up to here:

 

4) bless the partition:

sudo bless -device /dev/disk0s1 -setBoot -verbose

 

I get this error in terminal:

 

EFI found at IODeviceTree:/efi

Other partition scheme detected

No auxiliary booter partition required

Returning booter information dictionary:

<CFDictionary 0x301f30 [0xa080b1c0]>{type = mutable, count = 3, capacity = 4, pairs = (

0 : <CFString 0x1862c [0xa080b1c0]>{contents = "Auxiliary Partitions"} = <CFArray 0x301840 [0xa080b1c0]>{type = immutable, count = 0, values = (

)}

)}

Any help?

I had the same issue before, what I did was getting a fresh copy of the following file available at : http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2008 (in tiger, that is)

 

then performed the diskutil, startuptool, bless combo and voilà! I was then able to boot into leopard without having issue.

 

hope this help!

As far as I know, it seems like the "bless" command we need is not the

actual "bless" that comes with Mac OS.

 

I read somewhere that the actual "bless" won't write anything to disc but

will alter the real Mac's NVRAM ... while our "bless" found in BrazilMac's

guide (even comes with source code !!) .... may write something to the disc.

I am not totally sure of how it works (anyone ?) but I'm sure that we'll

need the "bless" command in BrazilMac's package, not the original one.

Edit : Well, I feel pretty dumb now. I've just look into the bless.c in the BrazilMac package and found that it does NOTHING at all ...

just print out what you give it as arguments !

So, I think we can safely skip it without any ill-effects. Anyone please confirm this ??
