Hello, I had exactly the same issue with Brazilmac patched DVD. I was told to try restoring the image to a partition first, as shown here (Installation Method 2):

im trying to make the hd bootable with kalyways cd and when i reboot from harddrive is says missing file, appleboot.plist or something like that, also then when i try to make the hard drive bootable through terminal the commands dont work, when i enter fdisk-e/dev/rdisk1 it says directroy not found if i put sudo before it like it says in the guide is says illegal command same thing if i put spaces between fdisk -e/dev/rdiskX where X is drive

does anyone know why kalyways cd isnt working and why i cant use terminal?

Im new at this so trying to figure out as I go along.
