vince29 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 try typing "platform=X86PC" on darwin boot prompt (where you indicate which disk you want to boot). I had the same problem with my gericom laptop, which seems to come from the same assembler as some Toshibas. Sorry, I meant on darwin boot options, before even booting the OS. I couldn't boot on darwin install cd nor on osX86 until I used this option. I used to get the "Still waiting for boot device" message.

setec Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I think we need more info here. Are you installing this on the main harddrive, second harddrive or partition? What command did you use to create the partition? What specific command line for dd did u type exactly? Then we can go from there.
